9Kings' daughters are among thine honourable women; upon thy right hand doth stand the queen in gold of Ophir. 10Hearken, daughter, and see, and incline thine ear; and forget thine own people and thy father's house: And the king will desire thy beauty; for he is thy Lord, and worship thou him. 12And the daughter of Tyre with a gift, the rich ones among the people, shall court thy favour. 13All glorious is the king's daughter within; her clothing is of wrought gold:

Commentaries on Psalms 45:11
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 11So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty - That is, in consequence of your love to him, and your entire devotion of yourself to him.

The heart, as…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 10-17Verses 10-17 If we desire to share these blessings, we must hearken to Christ's word. We must forget our carnal and sinful attachments and pursuits.

The relation of subjection to her spouse at once accords with the law of marriage, as given in Ge 3:16; 18:12; Ep 5:22; 1Pe 3:5, 6, and the relation of the Church…Read the comment
