9 Daughters of kings are among your honored women; at your right hand is the royal bride in gold of Ophir.
9 Kings' daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.
9 daughters of kings are among your ladies of honor; at your right hand stands the queen in gold of Ophir.
9 Kings' daughters are maids in your court, the Bride glittering with golden jewelry.
9 Kings' daughters are among Your honorable women; At Your right hand stands the queen in gold from Ophir.
9 Kings' daughters are among your noble women. At your right side stands the queen, wearing jewelry of finest gold from Ophir!
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 45:9
Commentary on Psalm 45:6-9
(Read Psalm 45:6-9)
The throne of this almighty King is established for ever. While the Holy Spirit leads Christ's people to look to his cross, he teaches them to see the evil of sin and the beauty of holiness; so that none of them can feel encouragement to continue in sin. The Mediator is God, else he had been neither able to do the Mediator's work, nor fit to wear the Mediator's crown. God the Father, as his God in respect to his human nature and mediatorial offices, has given to him the Holy Spirit without measure. Thus anointed to be a Prophet, Priest, and King, Christ has pre-eminence in the gladdening gifts and graces of the spirit, and from his fulness communicates them to his brethren in human nature. The Spirit is called the oil of gladness, because of the delight wherewith Christ was filled, in carrying on his undertakings. The salvation of sinners is the joy of angels, much more of the Son. And in proportion as we are conformed to his holy image, we may expect the gladdening gifts influences of the Comforter. The excellences of the Messiah, the suitableness of his offices, and the sufficiency of his grace, seem to be intended by the fragrance of his garments. The church formed of true believers, is here compared to the queen, whom, by an everlasting covenant, the Lord Jesus has betrothed to himself. This is the bride, the Lamb's wife, whose graces are compared to fine linen, for their purity; to gold, for their costliness: for as we owe our redemption, so we owe our adorning, to the precious blood of the Son of God.
