Psalm 45:5-7
1599 Geneva Bible
5 Thine arrows are sharp to pierce the heart of the King’s enemies: therefore the people shall fall under thee.
6 Thy [a]throne, O God, is forever and ever: the scepter of thy kingdom, is a scepter of righteousness.
7 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness, because God, even thy God, hath [b]anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
