Ver. 9. Kings' daughters were among thy honourable women] Thy ladies of honour attending upon thy royal consort (for after the description of Christ, the bridegroom, followeth another, of the queen, his bride, and of the royal nuptials): or, Kings' daughters are in thy preciousnesses, that is, in thy comeliness that thou hast put upon them, Ezekiel 16:14; for all the Church's bravery is borrowed, and all her daughters, i.e. members, are adorned not with their own proper attire, Sed regio mundo et ornatu, out of the King Christ's wardrobe; this is the righteousness of the saints, Revelation 19:8, viz. imputed and imparted.
Upon thy right hand] Which is a place of dignity and safety. As Christ is at the Father's right hand, so the Church is at Christ's right hand; where, as his wife, she shineth with her Husband's beams. This is very comfortable.
Did stand the queen] Heb. the wife, adiutorium illi exacte respondens, as Genesis 2:18, saith Aben Ezra.
