Psalm 45:10-17

Amplified Bible

¹⁰
Hear, O daughter, consider and incline your ear [to my instruction]:
Forget your people and your father’s house;
¹¹
Then the King will desire your beauty;
Because He is your Lord, bow down and honor Him.
¹²
The daughter of Tyre will come with a gift;
The rich among the people will seek your favor.

¹³
Glorious is the King’s daughter within [the palace];
Her robe is interwoven with gold.^(A)
¹⁴
She will be brought to the King in embroidered garments;
The virgins, her companions who follow her,
Will be brought to You.
¹⁵
With gladness and rejoicing will they be led;
They will enter into the King’s palace.

¹⁶
In place of your fathers will be ^[a]your sons;
You shall make princes in all the land.
¹⁷
I will make Your name to be remembered in all generations;
Therefore the peoples will praise and give You thanks forever and ever.

Footnotes

Psalm 45:16 Unlike the other references to the King, this verse cannot be applied prophetically to Christ because He had no children. But it is not unusual for a prophecy to have more than one fulfillment (typically in the near future of the prophecy and another in the distant future), and by analogy there is no reason why this psalm cannot refer both to an ordinary king and to the future Messianic King.
