I am soliciting comments on how the members understand the relationship of
the king to the deity in these two texts:
Your throne O 'elohim shall last for ever and ever,
your royal scepter is a scepter of integrity:
virtue you love as much as you hate wickedness.
This is why God ('elohim), your God ('elohika) has anointed you
with the oil of gladness above all your rivals;
myrrh and aloes waft from your robes (Ps 45:6-7)
and:
Let me proclaim Yahweh's degree:
he has told me:
"You are my son,
today I have become your father." (?) (Ps 2:7)
