Psalms45:8
1. The odour of his garments, not of blood and battle, but of sweet perfume.
2. The splendour of his palaces —ivory for rareness, purity, durability, etc.
3. The source of his delight. (a) Himself, the sweet odour of his own graces. (b) His people, the savour of those who are saved. (c) His enemies, "even in them that perish." (d) All holy happy creatures who unite to make him glad. G.R.
Verses 9-10. The connections of the Bridegroom are to be remembered, those of the Bride to be forgotten.
