She will be brought to the King in embroidered garments;
The virgins, her companions who follow her,
Will be brought to You.
15 
With gladness and rejoicing will they be led;
They will enter into the King’s palace.

16 
In place of your fathers will be [a]your sons;
You shall make princes in all the land.

Footnotes

  1. Psalm 45:16 Unlike the other references to the King, this verse cannot be applied prophetically to Christ because He had no children. But it is not unusual for a prophecy to have more than one fulfillment (typically in the near future of the prophecy and another in the distant future), and by analogy there is no reason why this psalm cannot refer both to an ordinary king and to the future Messianic King.

14 In embroidered garments(A) she is led to the king;(B)
    her virgin companions(C) follow her—
    those brought to be with her.
15 Led in with joy and gladness,(D)
    they enter the palace of the king.

16 Your sons will take the place of your fathers;
    you will make them princes(E) throughout the land.
