Psalm 45
1. The majesty and grace of Christ's kingdom
10. The duty of the church, and the benefits thereof














All glorious
The phrase "All glorious" in Psalm 45:13 speaks to the radiant beauty and splendor of the subject, often interpreted as the bride or the church. The Hebrew word used here is "כָּל־כְּבוּדָּה" (kal-kebudah), which conveys a sense of complete and overwhelming glory. This glory is not merely external but reflects an inner beauty and righteousness. In a conservative Christian perspective, this can be seen as a representation of the church, adorned with the righteousness of Christ, reflecting His glory to the world.

is the princess
The term "princess" here is translated from the Hebrew word "בַּת־מֶלֶךְ" (bat-melech), meaning "daughter of the king." This highlights her royal status and her intimate relationship with the king. Historically, this can be seen as a reference to the bride of a king, but spiritually, it symbolizes the church as the bride of Christ, who is the King of Kings. The church, as the daughter of the King, is called to live in a manner worthy of her royal calling, reflecting the character and holiness of God.

in her chamber
The phrase "in her chamber" suggests a place of preparation and intimacy. The Hebrew word "פְּנִימָה" (penimah) indicates an inner room or a private space. This can be seen as a metaphor for the spiritual preparation and sanctification of the church. In a conservative Christian view, it emphasizes the importance of the church being set apart, preparing herself for the return of Christ, her bridegroom, through holiness and devotion.

her gown
The "gown" represents the attire of the princess, symbolizing purity, righteousness, and readiness. The Hebrew word "לְבוּשָׁהּ" (levushah) refers to clothing or garments. In the context of the church, this gown can be seen as the righteousness of Christ that believers are clothed with. It is a reminder of the transformation that occurs through salvation, where believers are made new and are to walk in the righteousness provided by Christ.

is embroidered with gold
The phrase "is embroidered with gold" signifies richness, value, and beauty. Gold, in biblical times, was a symbol of purity, wealth, and divine nature. The Hebrew word "מִשְׁבְּצוֹת זָהָב" (mishbetzot zahav) indicates intricate and skillful craftsmanship. For the church, this embroidery represents the divine nature and the work of the Holy Spirit in adorning the church with spiritual gifts and virtues. It is a call for the church to reflect the beauty and glory of God in every aspect of life, showcasing the richness of His grace and the depth of His love.

(13) The king's daughter is all glorious within--i.e., in the interior, in the inner room of the palace. The next clause would alone dismiss the reference to moral qualities from which has sprung such a wealth of mystic interpretation. But what palace is intended? Certainly not that of the royal bridegroom, since the procession (see Psalm 45:14) has not yet reached its destination. We must therefore think of her waiting, in all the splendour of her bridal array, in her own apartments, or in some temporary abode.

Wrought gold--i.e., textures woven with gold. The Hebrew word is used also of gems set in gold. The Eastern tales just referred to speak of the custom of repeatedly changing the bride's dress during the marriage ceremonies, every time presenting her in greater magnificence than before.

Verse 13. - The King's daughter is all glorious within. The "King's daughter "of this passage can be no other than the bride herself - the" queen" of ver. 9. As among her attendants some were "kings' daughters" (ver. 9), so she could be no less. She is "glorious," not only without, in her robe of" gold of Ophir," but also and especially within - in the inner chamber of the heart - where she is indeed "glorious," through the sanctifying presence of God's Holy Spirit (Ephesians 5:26, 27). Her clothing is of wrought gold (comp. ver. 9, and the comment ad lee.).
