And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall intreat thy favour.
Psalm 45 is a prophetic song about Christ and His church, a beautiful prophecy belonging to them throughout. It is a Messianic psalm speaking explicitly of the Saviour's work of redemption for humanity, and of His wonderful work and triumph. It prophesies that Messiah would be a righteous King and emphatically the Prince of peace, fulfilled in Jesus Christ as one eminently distinguished as a righteous person and as the great peacemaker both on earth and in heaven.
Its white-horse rider is Christ coming through the Gospel to save and win the world to Himself, conquering as the Gospel goes forth. The psalm is also set forth as a prophecy of the queen of Sheba's visit to Jerusalem. The verse belongs to the triumphal procession and marriage festival in which gifts are brought and favor is sought.
It describes the millennial era and promises Christ's personal, pre-millennial return in glory, fairer than the children of men, riding forth triumphantly with the people falling under Him to sit on His own throne for ever and ever, not merely at the Father's right hand. At His right hand stands the queen as the Bride, the Lamb's wife, and the marriage festival is celebrated. His coming is Jehovah of hosts with us, making wars to cease unto the end of the earth, stilling the tumult of the nations, and exalting Him among the heathen and in the earth. The Bridegroom is the second person of the Trinity, so the triumphal procession and marriage cannot mean an outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
The verse belongs to a picture of the Church as the King's royal bride, honored, brought to Him in splendor, and received with favor, applying to Christ's glorified Church in His everlasting kingdom. The daughter of Tyre coming with a gift and the rich entreating favor means prosperous people turning to Christ in submission and worship. This is very rare, for very few living in the pleasures of this world do this and escape everlasting perdition, which exposes the dangerous, ensnaring temptation attending a pleasant and prosperous condition.
