Recap: Though the immediate context of the Psalm is an earthly royal wedding, it is Messianic and prophetically speaks of the rule of the Lord and the beautiful relation between the Lord and his people. The Psalm consists of an introduction (1), the descriptions of the greatness of the King (2-5), rule of the King (6-9), allegiance of the bride (10-12), bridal procession (13-15), princes of the King.
| 45: | 16 | Instead of Your fathers shall be Your sons, |
| You shall make princes in all the earth. | ||
| to be remembered in all generations; | ||
| praise You forever and ever. |
V 16. In any wedding, children are considered the ultimate reward, destined to become princes. Prophetically, these children symbolize the future members and leaders of the Church.
V 17. This significant legacy ensures that the king will be praised by all. In a prophetic sense, it signifies that the Lord will be worshipped and glorified eternally.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, I offer You worship for the unending praise showered upon Your Son, the Lord Jesus. My earnest prayer is to worship Him not primarily with my lips, but through the entirety of my decisions and actions. Amen.
