The subtext to this section is Psalm 45 ('Thy throne, oh God, is forever...''). It was highly personal to Wagner, who believed himself to have had a Jewish father. In response to the question Jews often ask each other, "What think ye Christ? Whose son is he?", Psalm 45 is the answer Jesus refered to when he said, "Why then does David in spirit call him Lord?"
