Context of Psalms 45:9

7You love justice and hate evil. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you, pouring out the oil of joy on you more than on anyone else. 8Myrrh, aloes, and cassia perfume your robes. In ivory palaces the music of strings entertains you. Kings’ daughters are among your noble women. At your right side stands the queen, wearing jewelry of finest gold from Ophir! 10Listen to me, O royal daughter; take to heart what I say. Forget your people and your family far away. 11For your royal husband delights in your beauty; honor him, for he is your lord.
