In Psalms chapter forty five David said, “Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline your ear; forget also your own people, and your father's house”, and in chapter forty five and verse eleven of Psalms David said, “so shall the king greatly desire your beauty” where we read,
So shall the king greatly desire your beauty: for he is your Lord; and worship you him.
The verse begins, “So shall the king greatly desire your beauty:” David began with the words, “So shall the king” or “ also and indeed will the royal ruler” “greatly desire” which means “ covet, wait longingly, want and long for” “your beauty” or “your, the daughter's, visual aspect and appearance”. David said as the “daughter” leaves her kindred, companions and father's home, the “royal ruler” would long for her beautiful appearance.
The verse goes on to say, “ for he is your Lord; and worship you him.” David continued with the words, “for he is your Lord” or “because, since and on account that he, the royal king, exists as your, the daughter's, Adonay or firm, strong and sovereign master”; “and worship you him” which means “and you, the daughter, bow down, prostrate, make obeisance to and reverence him, the royal ruler”. David told the “daughter” that the “royal ruler” existed as her “sovereign master”, and she was to bow down and make obeisance to Him.
When we think through the words in this verse, we learn through David how the visual appearance of the “daughter” who left behind her kindred, companions and father's home would be strongly longed for by the “royal ruler”. Jesus Christ is God's groom, and the Church is His bride, and anyone who surrenders their life to Him as their personal “Savior and Lord” will become the “bride” whom He desires. God loves people, and even as this “royal ruler” desired the “daughter” who left everything for him, He will forgive the sins, grant eternal life and join Himself to His “bride” to everyone who desires to worship Him forever and ever.
Next time David says, “the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift”, so read ahead, and we shall join together then.
Until tomorrow…there is more…
