Yes, even 3,000 years ago, people were keeping up with the Kardashians, or the Kennedys, or, in this psalm’s case, the King and his royal court. This “song of love” is so fawning that its writer couldn’t say enough good stuff about the King, Queen and their kids — a Hebrew Robin Leach.
This hunky King — with his long sword and heart-piercing arrows — sits on his throne, gripping his huge scepter and wearing great-smelling duds. He lives in actual ivory palaces — more than one, no kidding — and other kings’ daughters wait on him hand and foot. This dude has it made.
He has a hot queen who is loved by all the rich and famous in the land. Their beautiful daughter has the best clothes and the best friends. And the royal couple has many sons to help them rule the world. Champagne wishes and caviar dreams, indeed — with a supersized order of idolatry.
