How preachers through history handled this text
15 public-domain excerpts on Psalm 45, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“If we desire to share these blessings, we must hearken to Christ's word. We must forget our carnal and sinful attachments and pursuits. He must be our Lord as well as our Saviour; all idols must be thrown away, that we may give him our whole heart. And here is good encouragement, thus to break off from former alliances. The beauty of holiness, both on the church and on particular believers, is, in the sight of Christ, of great price, and very amiable. …”
— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on Psalm 45:10–30 (Public Domain)
