“Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.”
'You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy' — the continuation of Psalm 45:7-8 emphasizes the moral perfection of the Son's rule and his being anointed (chrisma) with the oil of joy. His companions—other rulers, other sons—are surpassed by him.
