Is Psalm 45:2 about Jesus Christ?

[sana]

Just a small question..

Who is the author talking about in these verses

Ps 45:2-7 Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.
Gird thy sword upon [thy] thigh, O [most] mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty.
And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness [and] righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.
Thine arrows [are] sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; [whereby] the people fall under thee.
Thy throne, O God, [is] for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom [is] a right sceptre.
Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

Sana,
It surely is the Lord Jesus.
I especially like the last sentence where it is mentions that Jesus is anointed with the oil of gladness above his fellows.
That's us, we are Lord Jesus fellows. Jesus is our Lord and he is our elder brother. That is the kind of relationship we shall have in the age to come. What a wondrous blessing we have.

But then what about the first verse

Ps 45:2-7 Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.

If it is about the Lord it says He is "fairer than the children of God"

but Isaiah 53:2 says

For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, [there is] no beauty that we should desire him.

Strog's dictionary. the meaning for "fairer"

H3302  yaphah  yaw-faw'

a primitive root;

properly, to be bright, i.e. (by implication) beautiful.

I remember Ray teaching about Isaiah 53.

Sana -

I believe that fairer is not about looks but character with regards the Fruit of the Spirit - more like wisdom, gentleness and goodness.
