Psalm 45:10-17

NRSV

Commentaries on Psalms 45:10-17: Calvin | Matthew Henry | Jamiesson, Fausset, Brown

10

Hear, O daughter, consider and incline your ear;

forget your people and your father’s house,

11

and the king will desire your beauty.

Since he is your lord, bow to him;

12

the people of Tyre will seek your favor with gifts,

the richest of the people ¹³with all kinds of wealth.

The princess is decked in her chamber with gold-woven robes;

14

in many-colored robes she is led to the king;

behind her the virgins, her companions, follow.

15

With joy and gladness they are led along

as they enter the palace of the king.

16

In the place of ancestors you, O king, shall have sons;

you will make them princes in all the earth.

17

I will cause your name to be celebrated in all generations;

therefore the peoples will praise you forever and ever.
