Psalms45:11
So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty. Christ delighting in the Beauty of the Righteous. Martin Luther. (Select Works, by H. Cole. I. 281.)
Verses 13-15.
1. The Bride's new name —"The king's daughter." She is the king's daughter for two reasons. (a) She is born of God; and (b) She is espoused to the Son of God.
2. The Bride's character —"All glorious within." (a) Because Christ reigns on the throne of her heart. (b) Because she is the temple of the Holy Ghost.
3. The Bride's raiment —"wrought gold, " "needlework:" this is the righteousness of Christ; in other words, His perfect obedience, and His atoning death.
4. The Bride's companion —"Virgins that follow her."
5. The Bride's home going —"She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework...With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the king's palace." (a) She shall see the king in his beauty. (b) There will be an open declaration of his love to her before all worlds. Duncan Macgregor, M.A.
