Your throne, O God, is forever and ever;God has a kingdom. Part of that kingdom we can see, because we live in it. The entire universe is part of His kingdom, and while our bit of it is not quite going as He would have liked, He still has control over it all. Also, He rules over all that which is not physical, what we would consider Heaven and Hell, or the spiritual realm. While He has permitted Satan to rule Hell, He still has ultimate control, and will destroy it some day, as well.
A scepter of uprightness is the scepter of Your kingdom.
I'm not quite sure what the scepter part here is about. My only guess would be that a king's scepter signified his rule. Maybe it was something benevolent, or relatively unthreatening. Maybe it was richly ornate, showing his wealth. Or maybe it was fierce and intimidating, showing his strength. But God's is upright, showing His purity and how He is the source of all good and true.
