Ps 45 2 You are the most excellent of men
and your lips have been anointed with grace,
since God has blessed you forever.
3 Gird your sword upon your side, O mighty one;
clothe yourself with splendor and majesty.
4 In your majesty ride forth victoriously
in behalf of truth, humility and righteousness;
let your right hand display awesome deeds."
This Psalm is teaching what Gods purpose was in creating man. As man
was free to do all that he desired , he displayed absolute power in his
family and culture. In that success he was like God in the sense that he
provides opportunities and protection.
The psalm is
describing mans success as the glory of God who enjoys all of Gods
creation through speaking the law, covenants ,curses, decrees statutes.
These words on his lips are enforced by the secret pronouncements of the
curses. This is taught in the sword..which is his use of the curses to
defend his estate and family as his glory, his right hand which is the
ability to destroy the enemy on the day of disaster. Gods right hand is
hidden in His garment and comes out in the wars. Man is made to provide
the garden circumstances in which his wife and prosperity are protected
and have the greatest opportunities to use their gifts. As he speaks the
gifts he displays his freedom and provides his family with the most
opportunities.In this way everyone is constrained by the simplicity of
the law. Everyone is equal in enjoying their gifts in the garden of God.
The glory of the woman is the success of the ruling defense
of the man and the glory of the man is providing all the opportunities
to fulfill her gifts. So the Psalms teach that men and women are co
rulers of His creation.
When the Psalmist describes man as
being lord , he is talking about mans enjoyment of speaking the gifts.
The curses and the decrees are united with mans desires that give him
absolute rule over his kingdom. His gifts express what man is and what
everyone are..... are what they need to be. Everyone learns to get what
they desire by man being absolutely sovereign in speaking the gifts. As
God is free , man is free and his posterity is free.
