Psalm 45 is a royal wedding song that celebrates a king’s marriage and his triumph over nations. The psalm shows how Israel’s king is chosen by God and how his reign will be glorious forever. Psalm 47 shifts from the wedding to a worldwide call for all peoples to clap and shout for the Lord, the Most High, who rules the earth. The focus is on God’s power, the joy of his people, and the hope that the Davidic king will bring peace and justice. The teacher explains that this wedding is symbolic of the future Christ–church union, and that the celebration reminds us of God’s eternal reign.
