Ever read something in the Bible and thought: "Okay, what does that really mean?" Psalm 45:2 is one of those instances. The first time I stumbled into it, I thought it was very poetic. But poetry can also feel confusing. After reading it more times, I felt I couldn't decipher its meaning. That's when I decided to dig a little deeper. I found out that most people find this particular psalm an enigma.

"You are the most handsome of the sons of men; grace is poured upon your lips; therefore, God has blessed you forever."

Not exactly part of the everyday conversation I have with my friends over coffee...

But there’s a lot more to this verse than just some fancy words. Whether you’re familiar with the Psalms or this is your first time reading the text, let me help you break it down.
