今天你讀的詩篇有些是可拉後裔的作品。摩西時代，可拉曾因背叛摩西而死(民16：l-33，26：10)，日後這個家族中有一部份任職聖殿的守門人(代上9：19)，另一部份則在聖殿的詩班中唱詩及彈奏樂器(代上6：3l-33，37)。

        找一份報紙翻開頭版，就會發現在報頭下方有許多結婚啟事。詩篇四十五篇的作者宛如一位天國的記者，試著以文字為圖，捕捉新娘、新郎在婚禮當天的光彩與燦亮，這並不是一個地上的婚禮！請注意希伯來書一章八到九節是怎樣引用本詩六和七節來描繪耶穌基督！
        古代近東的婚禮中，新郎往往比新娘更重要，所有的賓客齊來欣賞新郎的風釆和他的隨從！婚禮的行列是為了新郎而非新娘！確實惟有這位從天而降的新郎才配得這樣的榮耀與尊榮。注意詩中對祂品格的描述：「祢的寶座是永永遠遠的，祢的國權是正直的。」(詩45：6)「祢比世人更美，在祢嘴裡滿有恩惠。」(詩45：2)祂的佩刀適切的表現出力量與正義，並以真理、謙卑、公義為刀飾，這位君王的確大有威儀與榮耀！
        在結束今天的靈修時間之前，細讀詩篇四十五篇十七節，並好好思想一番！然後找一個方法，用言語或行為把你的萬王之王介紹給「下一代」(可能是一個年齡比你小的人，也可能是慕道友或初信者)，告訴他這位由天而降的新郎已經來了！

君王之詩
        其他的「君王之詩」(描述基督為王的詩篇)包括詩篇第二、十八、二十、廿一、七二、八九、九九、一一○和一四五篇。

耶穌基督是一位俯就卑微的上帝，也是一位昇上高天的人。

        Today you read some of the psalms attributed to the sons of Korah. descendants of the man who died for his rebellion against Moses (Numbers 16:1-33; 26:10). One part of this family liecame the temple doorkeepers (1 Chronicles 9:19); another the- singers and musicians in the temple (1 Chronicles 6:31-33, 37).

        Find a newspaper and turn to the society page. Notice the amount of print, pictures, and fanfare devoted to weddings. Psalm 45 was penned by a poet, who, like a son of heavenly journalist, was trying to capture in word pictures the glory and splendor of a bride and bridegroom on their wedding day. Only this was no mere earthly wedding. Notice how Hebrews 1:8-9 quotes verses 6 and 7 of this psalm and ascribes them to Jesus Christ Himself!
        In ancient Near Eastern weddings the man was more important than the woman. All the guests gathered to view his apparel and his attendants! The wedding processional was for the bridegroom, not the bride! And truly the Groom is worthy of glory and honor. Notice the description of His virtues: "Thy throne ... is for ever and ever: the scepter of thy kingdom is a right scepter" (v, 6). "Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips" (v. 2). With His sword in place to demonstrate strength and justice, and adorned with truth, meekness, and righteousness, the King is indeed majestic.
        Close your devotional time today by thoughtfully reading verse 17. Then look for one way you can introduce the next "generation" by word or deed to your King of Kings. Here comes the Groom!

Treating the Psalms Royally —
        Other "royal psalms" (psalms that picture Christ as King) include Psalms 2, 18. 20, 21, 72, 89, 99, HO, and 145.

Jesus Christ is the condescension of divinity and the exaltation of humanity.
