Psalms 45:9
Compare all
7 You love righteousness and hate wickedness;
Therefore God, Your God, has aanointed You
With the oil of bgladness more than Your companions. 
8 All Your garments are ascented with myrrh and aloes and cassia,
Out of the ivory palaces, by which they have made You glad. 
9 aKings’ daughters are among Your honorable women;
bAt Your right hand stands the queen in gold from Ophir. 
10 Listen, O daughter,
Consider and incline your ear;
aForget your own people also, and your father’s house; 
11 So the King will greatly desire your beauty;
aBecause He is your Lord, worship Him. 
12 And the daughter of Tyre will come with a gift;
aThe rich among the people will seek your favor. 
13 The royal daughter is all glorious within the palace;
Her clothing is woven with gold.
14 aShe shall be brought to the King in robes of many colors;
The virgins, her companions who follow her, shall be brought to You. 
15 With gladness and rejoicing they shall be brought;
They shall enter the King’s palace.
16 Instead of Your fathers shall be Your sons,
aWhom You shall make princes in all the earth.

Psalms 45:9

Kings' daughters were among - Applied to Solomon, these words have no difficulty. We know he had seven hundred wives, princesses; and the mention of those here may be intended only to show how highly respected he was among the neighboring sovereigns, when they cheerfully gave him their daughters to constitute his harem. If we apply it to Solomon' s marriage with the daughter of the king of Egypt, it may signify no more than the princesses and ladies of honor who accompanied her to the Israelitish court. Applied to Christ, it may signify that the Gospel, though preached particularly to the poor, became also the means of salvation to many of the kings, queens, and nobles, of the earth. The Chaldee interprets the queen standing at his right hand, by the law; and the honorable women, by the different regions and countries coming to receive that law from his right hand. Perhaps by kings' daughters may be meant different regions and countries, which are represented as constituting the families of potentates. Whole nations shall be converted to the Christian faith; and the queen - the Christian Church, shall be most elegantly adorned with all the graces and good works which at once constitute and adorn the Christian character.
