God speaks of his angels as messengers swift as the wind and as servants made of flaming fire; but of his Son he says, “Your Kingdom, O God, will last forever and ever; its commands are always just and right. You love right and hate wrong; so God, even your God, has poured out more gladness upon you than on anyone else.”

In speaking of the angels he says,

“He makes his angels spirits,
    and his servants flames of fire.”[a](A)

But about the Son he says,

“Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever;(B)
    a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom.
You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness;
    therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions(C)
    by anointing you with the oil(D) of joy.”[b](E)
