How does the New Testament allude to, quote, or apply anything from
Psalm 45?

The primary New Testament quotation and application of Psalm 45 occurs
in Hebrews 1:8-9.

In Hebrews 1, the author establishes the absolute superiority and divine nature of Jesus Christ over the angels. To prove this from Scripture,
Hebrews 1:8-9 quotes Psalm 45:6-7 directly:

"But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and
ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore
God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness
above thy fellows."

This passage applies Psalm 45 in several foundational ways:

Direct Address as God

The Father addresses the Son directly as God ("Thy throne, O God"). The
royal psalm, originally sung concerning an anointed Davidic king, finds
its ultimate and literal fulfillment in the Son. The text attributes
eternal deity to the Son, identifying His throne as everlasting.

An Eternal and Righteous Rule

The Son's sceptre is designated as a sceptre of righteousness. Unlike
earthly monarchs whose reigns are finite and often corrupted, the
Messiah's rule is founded upon absolute righteousness and equity,
lasting for ever and ever.

Moral Perfection and Divine Anointing

The Son's reign is linked to His intrinsic love for righteousness and
hatred of lawlessness. Because of this moral perfection, God has
anointed Him with the oil of gladness above His "fellows" (or
companions). In Hebrews, this anointing signifies His supreme
exaltation, installation, and preeminence over all creation and created beings, particularly angels.

Allusions and Thematic Connections

Beyond this explicit quotation, Psalm 45 provides the underlying imagery
for several New Testament themes regarding Christ and the church:

The Royal Bridegroom: Psalm 45 is a royal wedding song celebrating the
king and his bride. The New Testament adopts this exact typology to
depict Christ as the Bridegroom and the church as His bride (Ephesians 5:25-32; Revelation 19:7-9; Revelation 21:2).

The Conquering King: The description in Psalm 45:3-5 of the king
strapping on his sword, riding forth victoriously in majesty, truth,
meekness, and righteousness, is reflected in Revelation 19:11-16, where
Christ rides forth as the Faithful and True warrior-king judging and
making war in righteousness.

The crucifixion of Christ completely satisfied the debt of our sins
toward God (Colossians 2:14), which God verified by bringing Him back to
life (Romans 1:4). As a result, God is proven just when He forgives
believers (Romans 3:26) and delivers them from the approaching wrath (1 Thessalonians 1:10). Eternal salvation is a free gift appropriated by
faith (Romans 6:23). If you believe in Him, call on the Lord for your deliverance (Romans 10:9-13):
