Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 45:1-17

Meir Arama says, that with the consent of all [the rabbins] this psalm speaks of the Messiah. The Targum also, as far as the eighth verse, expounds it of the Messiah. Their interpretation appears to be correct, ( 1) From the sublime effusions of David’s soul. (2) The King is higher than the kings of the earth. (3) In all his wars he is terrible and victorious. (4) His title, the Elohim, St. Paul, Hebrews 1:8, will not allow to be inscribed to a mortal man. (5) The description of the... read more

The Bridegroom’s call to the brideChrist and His Church are the subject of this noble psalm.I. The call to higher holiness, to higher attainments in faith, love and purity.

Psalms 45:11So shall the King greatly desire thy beauty.The beauty of the Church desired by ChristI. The believer’s beauty.1. It is all derived, and not natural. Our Lord Jesus first makes men beautiful through His comeliness put upon them, and then He commends and takes pleasure in the works of His own hands (Ezekiel 16:14).(1) The believer is covered with the rich and ornamenting robe of the righteousness of His glorious surety.

Psalms 45:12The daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift, Gentile sinners coming into the Church and presenting themselves a free-will offering to the Lord upon the Gospel altarI.Some things implied in the words.1. That whatever be the outward lot and condition of a person or people, before the Lord is pleased to visit them with a dispensation of the Gospel, their case is truly melancholy, and affecting. When it is said, “the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift,” it supposes that her... read more

So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty ] If thou deny thyself and forego all others to please him alone he shall set his whole heart upon thee, and be ravished with thy love, as Proverbs 5:19 .
