43. A plea for Deliverance. David asked God to protect him from evil people. He felt sad about the way his enemies treated him. David asked God to send His light and truth to guide him. He would praise God with his harp. He reminded his soul not to be sad.
44. Former Deliverances and Present Troubles. Their fathers had told them of the ways God caused His people to be victorious over their enemies and troubles. David swore that God was his King and that he didn't trust his bow or sword, he trusted God. Praise His name forever! David continued to plead for the people who were being slaughtered by enemies. He begged God not to forget them. Verse 22 is quoted in Romans 8:36, and goes on to remind the Christians that nothing - even death - can separate them from God's love.
45. A Song Celebrating the King's Marriage. This Psalm is set at a wedding and describes the glory and delights which usually accompany such happy occasions. In Luke 24:44, Jesus spoke of being mentioned in Psalms as well as other places in scripture. Sometimes Jesus is referred to as the bridegroom.
David's heart was full of beautiful words which flowed from him as if he were a great writer. He spoke of the bridegroom who was more handsome than any other men, grace was poured on His lips and God has blessed Him forever. He wears his sword and fine clothes of splendor and majesty, honor is His always. His arrows pierce the hearts of the King's enemies. Nations will come and go, but God will reign forever. Justice is Yours divine authority and You hate evil. That is why God has blessed You above the others. Sweet aromas and beautiful palaces surround You, and heavenly music fills You with joy. Daughters of kings are among Your honored women, Your bride is at Your right hand and dressed in gold. David warns the bride to forget her family and do what the King desires. The richest people try to have influence over the King.
Tomorrow read Psalms 45:13-48:14
