45:6 Your throne, O God, is permanent.

The scepter of your kingdom is a scepter of justice.

7 You love justice and hate evil.

For this reason God, your God, has anointed you

with the oil of joy, elevating you above your companions.

8 All your garments are perfumed with myrrh, aloes, and cassia.

From the luxurious palaces comes the music of stringed instruments that makes you happy.
