Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on Psalms 45:3-4.


Psalms 45:4

_ _ ride prosperously — or conduct a successful war.

_ _ because of — for the interests of truth, etc.

_ _ meekness ... righteousness — without any connection — that is, a righteousness or equity of government, distinguished by meekness or condescension (Psalms 18:35).

_ _ right hand — or power, as its organ.

_ _ shall teach thee — point the way to terrible things; that is, in conquest of enemies.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Psalms 45:1-5.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Psalms 45:4

And — Being thus magnificently girt and armed. Ride — March on speedily and successfully against thine enemies. The word — That is, the gospel: which is called the word of truth, Ephesians 1:13, and may no less truly be called the word of meekness, because it is not delivered with terror, as the law was at Sinai, but meekly and sweetly; and the word of righteousness, because it brings in everlasting righteousness, and strongly excites all men to the practice of righteousness and holiness. And so the gospel is compared, to an horse or chariot, upon which Christ is said to ride, when the gospel is preached, and carried about from place to place. Teach thee — Thou shalt do exploits, which shall be terrible to thine enemies. But the phrase, thy right hand shall teach thee, is not to be taken properly; the meaning is, his hand should shew him, discover and work before him.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Psalms 45:4

And in thy majesty (d) ride prosperously because of truth and meekness [and] righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.

(d) He alludes to them, who ride in chariots in their triumphs, showing that the quiet state of a kingdom stands in truth, meekness and justice, and not in worldly pomp and vanity.
