But about the Son He says: “Your throne, O God, endures forever and ever, and justice is the scepter of Your kingdom. You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, Your God, has anointed You above Your companions with the oil of joy.”
Your throne, O God, endures forever and ever, and justice is the scepter of Your kingdom. You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has anointed you above your companions with the oil of joy.

Significance
Addresses the Son as "God" (ho theos), affirming his deity. Originally a royal wedding psalm for Davidic king, applied to Christ as ultimate Davidic king. Establishes both divine nature and eternal reign of the Son. The anointing "above Your companions" distinguishes Christ from angels (the "companions"), while the eternal throne demonstrates his superiority to all created beings.

Connection Method(s)
Promise-Fulfillment (primary — typico-prophetic anticipation, prosopologically voiced: the Father's direct address to the Son) + Typology (subordinate — the Davidic royal-wedding rail, genuinely instantiated and escalated)
Prosopological Shift: Speaker (court poet → God the Father); Referent (Davidic king → the Son); Auditor (the king at his wedding → the eternal Son enthroned). The royal wedding poem becomes the Father's declaration about the Son's eternal throne and his anointing above all companions.
