Now, according to the superscription, if you've got Psalm 45 open on your lap, which I would highly recommend, According to the superscription, the little title over the psalm, the psalm we're looking at this morning is a wedding song.

And it's most likely, isn't it, that he's written it for the wedding of his son Solomon, in whom he's put the hopes of the kingdom.
especially when the prince and or the princess are loved by the people, right? So love or hate the monarchy, it was evident in 2011 that most of us just can't resist a big occasion like that.
Isn't this great? Isn't this a glorious wedding? So despite, actually, those of you who were aware of things going on back then, despite the fact that we had serious economic decline going on in our nation, well, in the middle of all of that, we had this extra day of holiday.
