In today’s Meditatio Hour, Rev. Jonathan Fisk meditates on:
1. Psalm 45:6-12
6 Your throne, O God, is forever and ever.
The scepter of your kingdom is a scepter of uprightness;
7 you have loved righteousness and hated wickedness.
Therefore God, your God, has anointed you
with the oil of gladness beyond your companions;
8 your robes are all fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia.
From ivory palaces stringed instruments make you glad;
9 daughters of kings are among your ladies of honor;
at your right hand stands the queen in gold of Ophir.
10 Hear, O daughter, and consider, and incline your ear:
forget your people and your father’s house,
11 and the king will desire your beauty.
Since he is your lord, bow to him.
12 The people[a] of Tyre will seek your favor with gifts,
the richest of the people.[b]

2. Proverbs 14:6
6 A scoffer seeks wisdom in vain,
but knowledge is easy for a man of understanding.
