INTRODUCTION TO Psalms 45 To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, for the sons of Korah, Maschil, A Song of loves.

And in thy majesty ride prosperously,.... Not literally, as was prophesied of him he should, and as he did, Zechariah 9:9; but mystically and spiritually, either in the chariots of angels up to heaven, Psalms 68:17; or on the white horse of the Gospel, with his bow and arrows after mentioned, conquering and to conquer, Revelation 6:2; and where he rides "in [his] majesty", showing forth his glory...

Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king’s enemies; whereby the people fall under thee. There is no...
