Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Psalms 45:10-15

Psalms THE PORTRAIT OF THE BRIDE Psa_45:10 - Psa_45:15 . The relation between God and Israel is constantly represented in the Old Testament under the emblem of a marriage. The tenderest promises of protection and the sharpest rebukes of unfaithfulness are based upon this foundation. ‘Thy Maker is thy Husband’; or, ‘I am married unto thee, saith the Lord.’ The emblem is transferred in the New Testament to Christ and His Church. Beginning with John the Baptist’s designation of Him as the... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 45:1-17

the King’s Wedding Song Psalms 45:1-17 Though this psalm was probably composed to celebrate Solomon’s marriage with Pharaoh’s daughter, we must remember that it is distinctly applied to our Lord in Hebrews 1:8 . See also Ephesians 5:23 ; Revelation 19:7 . What wonder that the psalmist’s heart overflowed! It was bubbling up with good matter! His work was for a King! See Psalms 45:1 , R.V., margin. The Warrior, Psalms 45:2-5 . The Word of God rides forth to war, followed by the armies of... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 45:1-17

Whether this psalm has, or had, a local application or is wholly idealistic cannot be certainly determined. It matters very little, for it is one of the songs which inevitably is Messianic in its deepest and fullest meaning. After an introduction which speaks of the fullness of his heart, the singer addresses the king, telling of the glory of the king's person, the perfection of his rule, and the beauty of his bride (verses Psa 45:1-9 ). He then turns to the bride, and in view of her high... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 45:10-12

Advice Given To The Bride (Psalms 45:10-12 ). The bride is advised to forget her past life and to look forward to her glorious future. She may well never have met her husband-to-be, and was probably feeling a little lost and homesick. But she is advised to accept advice and be responsive, and to forget her own people and her father’s house and give proper reverence to her new husband. Then will the king desire her, and all will treat her with honour. This was a duty that every king’s daughter... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 45:1-17

XLV. A Royal Marriage Song.— This Ps. owes its place in the Canon to that allegorical interpretation which has been accepted by the Synagogue and the Church, the Messiah being the bridegroom and Israel the bride. The friends of the bride are the convert nations who bring tributary gifts. But any such theory is untenable, ( a) The friends of the bride in Psalms 45:14 are clearly distinguished from the nations in Psalms 45:12. ( b) The bride is urged to forget her people and her father’ s... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 45:10

Hearken: these words are spoken, either, 1. In the person of the attendants upon the bride or bridegroom. Or, 2. Of the bridegroom. Or rather, 3. By the prophet himself; who having hitherto spoken to the bridegroom, or king, now addresseth his speech to the bride, or queen. O daughter: so he calls her, partly in token of his respect and affection to her, and partly because she is supposed to be young and beautiful; and therefore the prophet speaks like an eider and graver person, and as her... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 45:11

So doing thou shalt be amiable and acceptable to thy Husband; which will abundantly recompense thee for the loss of thy father’s house. He is thy Lord; as he is thy Husband, and also as he is thy King and God, as he was called, Psalms 45:6. And this is added as a reason, not of the last words, why the King would desire her beauty, but of the advice given to her, Psalms 45:10. Worship thou him; by which he implies that her Husband was no mere man, but God also, and therefore might be adored... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 45:12

The daughter of Tyre, i.e. the people or citizens of Tyre; as the daughter of Zion, or Jerusalem, or Babel, &c., are put for their inhabitants, 2 Kings 19:21; Psalms 137:8; Zechariah 9:9. He mentioneth the Tyrians, partly because they did give presents to Solomon, 1 Kings 5:1, &c., to whom here is a continued allusion through the whole Psalm; and partly because they among others, and before many others, were to be converted to Christ, as they were. See Matthew 11:21,Matthew 11:22; Mark... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Psalms 45:1-17

INTRODUCTIONSuperscription.—“To the Chief Musician upon Shoshannim, for the sons of Korah, Maschil. A song of loves.”“To the chief musician.” See notes on the title to Psalms 39:0. “Upon Shoshannim” “is a musical direction to the leader of the Temple choir, and moat probably indicates the melody ‘after’ or ‘in the manner of’ (על, al., A. V. ‘upon’) which the Psalms were to be sung. As ‘Shoshannim’ literally signifies ‘lilies,’ it has been suggested that the word denotes lily-shaped instruments... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Psalms 45:11

Psalms 45:11 The forty-fifth Psalm is the coronation oath of Christ to His Church. And here are three thoughts strung together to do honour to the occasion Christ's delight in His Church's beauty, Christ's claim to His Church's service, and Christ the centre of His Church's worship. I. The service of worship is giving honour to God. And this is a higher and more heavenly thing than the worship which we make for our own sake, to satisfy our own desires, and to supply our own necessities. Both in... read more
