Psalm 45: 9-17

This part of the Psalm describes the bride, the church

Even though the author wrote this Psalm, he didn’t understand it fully, because the bride is the church. The church is not introduced or known about until the NT.

No where in this Psalm is there any mention of the bride’s past sins.

vs. 10 - The King asks the bride to break ties and forget the past. The King sees the church as clean without a past

vs. 11 - Jesus sees us as beautiful and belonging to Him
Luke 7: The woman who washed Jesus’ feet realized her debt to Him. Jesus loved the woman and forgave her of her sins.

vs. 12-13 - The bride receives gifts from others and clothes herself with them

vs. 14 - the bride has virgins that follow her

vs. 15 - they will enter in with the King

vs. 16 - the bride can make her childfren princes
2 Kings - King Hezekiah was a good king, but had evil parents. We do not have to be influenced by our past.

vs. 17 - future generations remember the bride
Revelation 5: 10 - the King and the bride will reign forever.
