The Nations Fall Before Christ!


Psalm 45 (with paraphrase and interpretation)
My [king David, the Psalmist] heart is stirred by a noble theme
As I recite my verses of the King [Christ Jesus];
My tongue is the pen of a skillful writer.
Christ Jesus, You are the most excellent of men
And Your lips have been anointed with grace [by the Holy Spirit],
Since God has blessed You forever.

Gird Your sword upon Your side, O Mighty One [King Jesus];
Clothe Yourself with splendor and majesty.
In Your majesty ride forth victoriously
In behalf of Truth, Humility and Righteousness;

Let Your right hand display awesome deeds.
Let Your sharp arrows pierce the hearts of the King's enemies;
Let the nations fall beneath Your feet.

Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever;
A scepter of justice will be the scepter of Your Kingdom
You love righteousness and hate wickedness;
Therefore God, Your God , has set You above Your companions
By anointing You with the Oil of Joy [The Holy Spirit].

Christ Jesus, All Your robes are fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia;
From palaces adorned with ivory
The music of the strings makes You glad.
Daughters of kings are among Your honored women;
At Your right hand is the Royal Bride [The Bride Of Christ] in gold of Ophir.

Listen, O Daughter [The Bride Of Christ], consider and give ear:
Forget your people and your father's house.
The King is enthralled by your beauty;
Honor Him for He is your Lord.
The Daughter of Tyre will come with a gift,
Men of wealth will seek your favor.

All glorious is the Princess [The Bride Of Christ] within her chamber;
Her gown is interwoven with gold.
In embroidered garments she is led to the King;
Her virgin companions follow her and are brought to Christ Jesus.
They are led in with joy and gladness;
They enter the palace of the King [Christ Jesus].

I will perpetuate Your [The Bride Of Christ] memory through all generations;
Therefore the nations will praise You [The Bride Of Christ] for ever and ever.
(Psalm 45 NIV)

My Complete Paraphrase:
King David takes up his pen to write
Of the coming glory of Christ Jesus and His Bride.
Christ Jesus is the most excellent of men [He is the God Man].
His lips speak the most wonderful words ever spoken,
They are anointed with grace [by the Holy Spirit],
Since God blessed Him forever

Soon, He will gird His sword on His side, the Mighty One of God;
He will clothe Himself with splendor and majesty.
In His majesty He will ride forth victoriously;
All the nations of the earth will fall before Him.
He acts in behalf of TRUTH, HUMILITY and RIGHTEOUSNESS;
The antithesis of the character of the nations;
The very nature of God, which is all powerful.

His right hand will display awesome deeds, as He smites the nations.
His sharp arrows pierce the hearts of His enemies;
The nations fall beneath the feet of King Jesus.

The Throne of King Jesus', the Throne of God, will last forever.
It is has existed eternally in the Heavens.

A scepter of justice will be the scepter of Christ Jesus' Kingdom
As it has been from Eternity past.
Christ Jesus loves righteousness and hates wickedness;
Because of this fact, God, His God has set Him above His companions
By anointing Him with the Oil of Joy, even the Holy Spirit,
Who is the anointing of God.

Christ Jesus' robes are fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia;
From palaces in Heaven adorned with ivory
The music of the strings of the instruments of Heaven makes Him glad.

At the right hand of Christ Jesus is His Royal Bride [The Bride Of Christ]
In the gold of Ophir.
The daughters of kings, who are left,
Are among those who serve King Jesus and His Bride.

God Almighty says to The Bride Of Christ:
Forget your people and your earthly father's house
King Jesus is enthralled by your beauty;
Honor Him, for He is your Lord.

Those left of Satan's bride, The Daughter of Tyre, will come with a gift,
Men of worldly wealth, who are left, will seek the Bride's favor.

The Bride Of Christ is all glorious, a princess;
Her gown is interwoven with gold.
In embroidered garments she is led to King Jesus.
Her virgin companions follow her and are brought to King Jesus.
They are led in with joy and gladness [that will never end];
They enter the Palace of King Jesus.

The sons of God, those redeemed from the world
By the ministry of The Bride,
Will take the place of The Bride's fathers.
These sons will be princes throughout redeemed earth.

The memory of The Bride Of Christ and her ministry
Will be perpetuated by God through all generations;
Those redeemed from every nation
Will praise The Bride of Christ, for ever and ever.

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
