Psalm 45:5-7

⁵ Your sharp arrows will ·enter [pierce]
    the hearts of the king’s enemies.
    ·Nations [Peoples] will ·be defeated before [^Lfall beneath] you.
⁶ ·God, your throne will last [or Your throne is a throne of God] forever and ever.
    ·You will rule your kingdom with fairness [^LA scepter of virtue will be the scepter of your kingdom].
⁷ You love ·right [righteousness] and hate ·evil [wickedness],
    so God has ·chosen [anointed] you from among your ·friends [companions];
    ·he has set you apart with much joy [^L…with the oil of joy; ^Ckings were anointed with oil at their coronation; 1 Sam. 10:1; 16:13; Heb. 1:8–9].
