Psalm 45

A royal wedding song......both of the King and the Messiah.

The king is handsome and winsome.  A mighty warrior characterized by truth, humility and righteousness.  He is blessed by God 'forever', which reminds us of the promise that one of David's seed would be on the throne forever. (See II Samuel chapter 7).  This is fulfilled in Christ. In verses 6-7 we see Messianic terms.....The scepter of righteousness will rule forever and ever, because God has ordained it so.

The king fights for Israel, as does Christ for His bride, the church.   Both are successful.
The kingdom will be well established and far-reaching in scope.  Forever is a long time!

Wedding finery is described as being very fine and grand.  Royals from other countries are present.  The decorations are beautiful.  Their garments are lovely and not common.  The celebration is intense.

The bride leaves her family and home to be made one of the king's family.  He will now be her all in all.   So the Bride of Christ, the church forsakes all for Him.

"in the place of your fathers shall be your sons.'  Study notes speak of sons sitting on thrones that their ancestors have sat upon.    Also presented is the idea that Christ as redeemer brings many sons into the kingdom.

My first thought on this verse was this:   the focus before Christ seemed to have been the past.  Yes, they were looking for a Messiah, but the focus was on the fathers and the promises made.
After Christ the focus would be on the future......the growing kingdom.  Through the seed of David, (Christ), many sons will be brought in.  Thus 'instead of the fathers, shall be your sons."

Father,   perfect the Bride of Christ.  As a part of that Church, perfect me.
Come quickly for us, Lord Jesus!  We long for You!
