In the biblical context, this can be seen as a reference to the Davidic king, who is often depicted as a warrior leading his people to victory. The splendor signifies divine favor and authority, reminiscent of the descriptions of King Solomon's grandeur. This imagery also foreshadows the messianic expectation of a conquering king, fulfilled in Jesus Christ, who is portrayed in <a href="/revelation/19-11.htm">Revelation 19:11-16</a> as riding a white horse in victory.on behalf of truth and humility and justice These three virtues—truth, humility, and justice—are central to the character of a righteous ruler. In the ancient Near Eastern context, kings were expected to uphold these values to maintain order and reflect divine will. Truth represents faithfulness and reliability, humility denotes a servant leadership style, and justice involves fairness and righteousness. These attributes are perfectly embodied in Jesus Christ, who declared Himself as "the way, the truth, and the life" (<a href="/john/14-6.htm">John 14:6</a>) and demonstrated humility and justice throughout His ministry (<a href="/philippians/2-5.htm">Philippians 2:5-8</a>).may your right hand show your awesome deeds The right hand symbolizes power and authority in biblical literature. It is often associated with God's mighty acts of deliverance and judgment. In <a href="/exodus/15-6.htm">Exodus 15:6</a>, the right hand of God is praised for its power in overthrowing the Egyptians. This phrase suggests that the king's actions are empowered by divine strength, leading to awe-inspiring deeds. In a messianic sense, it points to the works of Jesus, whose miracles and acts of salvation reveal the power of God (<a href="/acts/2-22.htm">Acts 2:22</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/t/the_king.htm">The King</a> The psalm is a royal wedding song, traditionally understood to refer to a king of Israel, often seen as a type of the Messiah. 2. <a href="/topical/t/the_messiah.htm">The Messiah</a> In Christian interpretation, this psalm is often seen as a prophetic reference to Jesus Christ, the ultimate King. 3. <a href="/topical/t/the_wedding.htm">The Wedding</a> The context of the psalm is a royal wedding, symbolizing the union between Christ and His Church. 4. <a href="/topical/t/the_nations.htm">The Nations</a> The psalm speaks to the influence and reach of the king's reign, extending to all nations. 5. <a href="/topical/t/the_right_hand.htm">The Right Hand</a> Symbolizes power and authority, often associated with divine intervention and strength.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/m/majesty_and_humility.htm">Majesty and Humility</a> True majesty is found in humility.

So LXX. and Vulg. There is a difficulty from the absence of the conjunction in the Hebrew before the last of the triad of virtues. The LXX. have it, but may have supplied it, as the Authorised Version does. Some render, "meek righteousness," or, slightly changing the pointing, "the afflicted righteous."And thy right hand shall teach . . .--If we keep this rendering, we must picture the warrior with his right hand extended, pointing to the foe whom he is about to strike with his deadly arrows. But even this seems somewhat tame; and as the verb rendered "teach" is in <a href="/1_samuel/20-20.htm" title="And I will shoot three arrows on the side thereof, as though I shot at a mark.">1Samuel 20:20</a> used for "shooting arrows," and "arrows" are mentioned immediately in the next verse, it seems obvious to render: And thy right hand shall shoot terrors, or, terribly.

Righteousness, however, to be really righteousness, must be combined with meekness (comp. <a href="/zephaniah/2-3.htm">Zephaniah 2:3</a>). And thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things. It is the right hand wherewith the warrior strikes; and at each blow it opens to the striker terrible experiences, and thus may be said to "teach him terrible things." <a href="/commentaries/psalms/45-4.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>In your splendor וַהֲדָ֬רְךָ֨ ׀ (wa·hă·ḏā·rə·ḵā) Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine singular construct | second person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1926.htm">Strong's 1926: </a> Magnificence, ornament, splendor ride forth רְכַ֗ב (rə·ḵaḇ) Verb - Qal - Imperative - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7392.htm">Strong's 7392: </a> To ride, to place upon, to despatch in victory צְלַ֬ח (ṣə·laḥ) Verb - Qal - Imperative - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6743.htm">Strong's 6743: </a> To push forward on עַֽל־ (‘al-) Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5921.htm">Strong's 5921: </a> Above, over, upon, against behalf דְּבַר־ (də·ḇar-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1697.htm">Strong's 1697: </a> A word, a matter, thing, a cause of truth אֱ֭מֶת (’ĕ·meṯ) Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_571.htm">Strong's 571: </a> Stability, certainty, truth, trustworthiness and humility וְעַנְוָה־ (wə·‘an·wāh-) Conjunctive waw | Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6037.htm">Strong's 6037: </a> Gentleness, meekness and justice; צֶ֑דֶק (ṣe·ḏeq) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6664.htm">Strong's 6664: </a> The right, equity, prosperity may your right hand יְמִינֶֽךָ׃ (yə·mî·ne·ḵā) Noun - feminine singular construct | second person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3225.htm">Strong's 3225: </a> The right hand, side, the south show וְתוֹרְךָ֖ (wə·ṯō·wr·ḵā) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Hifil - Conjunctive imperfect - third person feminine singular | second person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3384.htm">Strong's 3384: </a> To flow as water, to lay, throw, to point out, to teach your awesome deeds. נוֹרָא֣וֹת (nō·w·rā·’ō·wṯ) Verb - Nifal - Participle - feminine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3372.htm">Strong's 3372: </a> To fear, to revere, caus, to frighten <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/psalms/45-4.htm">Psalm 45:4 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/psalms/45-4.htm">Psalm 45:4 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/psalms/45-4.htm">Psalm 45:4 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/psalms/45-4.htm">Psalm 45:4 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/psalms/45-4.htm">Psalm 45:4 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/psalms/45-4.htm">Psalm 45:4 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/psalms/45-4.htm">Psalm 45:4 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/psalms/45-4.htm">Psalm 45:4 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/psalms/45-4.htm">Psalm 45:4 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/psalms/45-4.htm">Psalm 45:4 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/psalms/45-4.htm">OT Poetry: Psalm 45:4 In your majesty ride on victoriously (Psalm Ps Psa.) </a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/psalms/45-3.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Psalm 45:3"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Psalm 45:3" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/psalms/45-5.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Psalm 45:5"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Psalm 45:5" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
