PSALMS 45:3 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
Ps 45:2Ps 45:4
Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty.
The characterization of the king as mighty, girded with his sword, and proceeding in majesty and might establishes his role as warrior and defender of the realm. The reference to the sword as instrument of judgment and righteousness suggests that the king's military power serves the cause of divine justice rather than mere personal ambition. The majestic riding in the chariot establishes visual imagery of royal splendor and invincibility. The emphasis on righteousness alongside might suggests that the king's power finds justification in his commitment to justice; power and moral purpose unite in his character. This verse establishes the king's military and judicial role as expressions of divine purposes.
