Psa 45:10-11 | MHM | STEP | The Glory of the Church This part of the psalm speaks directly to the royal bride, representing the church standing beside Christ, her King. God addresses the church as His “daughter” because she is closely joined to Christ, His Son. The passage explains the duties and blessings for those who belong to Christ, and the honor that will come to the church as His bride. v. 10-11 : The church is told, “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 ). The church must leave behind her old life and loyalties to belong fully to Christ. She is encouraged to love, honor, and worship Him above all else. This shows that believers must put Jesus first, loving Him more than anything or anyone else (Luke 14:26; Ephesians 5:24 ).
