Psalms 45

Psalms 45 1

My Notes Authors Matthew Henry - Commentary on the Whole Bible Some make Shoshannim, in the title, to signify an instrument of six strings; others take it in its primitive signification for lilies or roses, which probably were strewed, with other flowers, at nuptial solemnities; and then it is easily applicable to Christ who calls himself the _rose of Sharon and the lily of the valleys, _Cant. ii. 1. It is a song of loves, concerning the holy love that is between Christ and his church. It is a song of the well-beloved, the virgins, the companions of the bride (v. 14), prepared to be sung by them. The virgin-company that attend the Lamb on Mount Zion are said to _sing a new song, _Rev. xiv. 3, 4.
