John Trapp Complete Commentary

Psalms 45:13

The king's daughter [is] all glorious within: her clothing [is] of wrought gold.

Ver. 13. The king's daughter is all glorious within] In the inner man, Ephesians 3:16, the hidden man of the heart, 1 Peter 3:4. Great is the glory of the new creature; but not discerned by the world, through which the saints must be content to pass as concealed persons; and not think much to have the greater part of their ware in the inner part of their shop, and not all on the board or stall.

Her clothing is of wrought gold] Ex vestibus auro ocellatis. Clothed she is with humility, and other golden graces; as with that party-coloured garment, whereby kings' daughters, as Tamar, were anciently distinguished from others.
