Psalm 45:4-6

Amplified Bible

⁴
And in Your majesty ride on triumphantly
For the cause of truth and humility and righteousness;
Let Your right hand guide You to awesome things.
⁵
Your arrows are sharp;
The peoples (nations) fall under You;
Your arrows pierce the hearts of the King’s enemies.

⁶
^[a]Your throne, O God, is forever and ever;
The scepter of uprightness is the scepter of Your kingdom.
