“Because He is Your Lord, worship Him.” Psalm 45:11b

THE BRIDE OF THE KING

The focus of the last segment of Psalm 45 is on the Royal Bride of the King (Psalm 45:10-17).

“Listen, O daughter,
Consider and incline your ear;
Forget your own people also, and your father’s house;
So the King will greatly desire your beauty;
Because He is your Lord, worship Him.”
Psalm 45:10-11
