Psalm 45 is a happy wedding song. It was sung for a king on the most joyful day - and it bubbles over with gladness.
Today's Story
Have you ever been so happy you just had to sing? That is how this song begins.
“My heart is full of good things!” the singer says. “Beautiful words are pouring out of me, like a fountain that cannot stop!”
It is a wedding day, and the song is for the king. The singer looks at the king and says he is the finest of all. When the king speaks, kind and gentle words come out. He climbs on his horse and rides out to do what is good and true and fair. He helps the people who need help.
Then the bride comes in. She is dressed in the prettiest clothes, shining like gold. Her friends walk with her, laughing and full of joy. They come into the palace singing, and everyone is glad.
It is a day of music. A day of smiles. A day nobody will ever forget.
And the song says the king will be remembered for always and always. People will tell about this happy day for years and years.
