According to the author of the Book of Psalms, God really loves and wants to be close to you because He is special and very powerful, so you should love and respect Him back. It's like when you have a really nice king who takes care of you, and you show how much you care by listening and being kind to him.

Psalms 45:11: So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he [is] thy Lord; and worship thou him.

Contradiction with Exodus 20:3

This verse commands having no other gods before God, which contrasts with Psalm 45:11's indication of worship toward the king.

Exodus 20:3: Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

Contradiction with Isaiah 42:8

This verse states that God will not give His glory to another, contradicting the call in Psalm 45:11 to honor someone other than God.

Isaiah 42:8: I [am] the LORD: that [is] my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.

Contradiction with Matthew 4:10

This verse emphasizes worshiping and serving only God, in contrast to the reverence shown to the king in Psalm 45:11.

Matthew 4:10: Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

Paradox #1

The contradiction or conflict could arise from the idea of valuing outward beauty or appearances as a reason for adoration, which might conflict with teachings that emphasize inner virtues and character over physical appearance. This could seem inconsistent with other parts of the Bible that highlight the importance of the heart and one's inner qualities.
