Context of Psalms 45:10

8All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, by which they have made thee glad. 9Kings’ daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand stood the queen in gold of Ophir. Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thy ear; forget also thy own people, and thy father’s house; 11So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him. 12And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall entreat thy favour.

Commentaries on Psalms 45:10

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 10Hearken. O daughter, and consider - This is the beginning of the address by the companions of the bride to their mistress; after having, in the preceding verses, addressed the bridegroom; or, rather, given a description of his person, qualities, and magnificence. Suppose the daughter of Pharaoh to be intended, the words import: Thou art now become the spouse of the most magnificent monarch in the universe. To thee he must be all in all. Forget therefore…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 10Hearken, O daughter, and consider - This is probably to be understood as the language of the psalmist, in vision, as uttering counsel and advice which would be appropriate to the new condition of the bride. Some have understood it as the language of the father of the bride, uttering appropriate counsel to his daughter on entering upon her new relationship; exhorting her to affection and obedience in that relationship; charging her to feel that she is his…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. He must be our Lord as well as our Saviour; all idols must be thrown away, that we may give him our whole heart. And here is good encouragement, thus to break off from former alliances. The beauty of holiness, both on the church and on particular believers, is, in the sight of Christ, of great price, and very…Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 10-12The bride is a representative of the king. Powerful people and nations try to gain her favor in order to get close to the king. This is a great honor, and she is encouraged to give herself fully to her new position.Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 10-1110-11. She is invited to the union, for forming which she must leave her father's people. She representing, by the form of the allegory, the Church, this address is illustrated by all those scriptures, from Ge 12:1 on, which speak of the people of God as a chosen, separate, and peculiar people. 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
