The King's daughter is all glorious within ,....

She shall be brought unto the King in raiment of needlework ,.... Not in her sins, and trader the sense and guilt of them; as souls are brought to Christ, at first conversion, under the drawings of the Father's grace; nor in the rags of her own righteousness; but in the robe of righteousness, and garments of salvation, the change of raiment Christ has put upon her, having before this caused her iniquities to pass from her; or in the shining robes of immortality and glory: for this... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 45:13

The king's daughter is all glorious within - This, in some sense, may be spoken of Solomon's bride, the daughter of the king of Egypt; and then the expression may refer either to the cultivation of her mind, or the ornaments and splendor of her palace. The Asiatic queens, sultanas, and begums, scarcely ever appear in public. They abide in the harem in the greatest luxury and splendor; and to this, as its literal meaning, the text may possibly refer. Her clothing is of wrought gold - Of... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 45:13

Verse 13 13The daughter of the King is all glorious within (172) This verse may be understood in a twofold sense; either as meaning that the queen, not only when she appears in public before all the people, but also when sitting in private in her own chamber, is always sumptuously apparelled; or, that the splendor and gorgeous appearance of her attire is not merely a thing of display, designed to dazzle the eyes of the simple, but consists of expensive and really substantial material. The... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 45:1-17

The glories of the eternal King. This psalm is one of those which set forth in glowing terms the glory and majesty of the King of kings, the Anointed One, who should come into the world.

This, however, does not throw much... read more

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 , ... read more
