Salmos 45

Diodorus of Tarsus · Comentário Patrístico (catena)

Salmos 45:2

After mentioning the glory, here he mentions its effect, namely, that you were invested with such persuasion as even to attract disciples merely by your lips: the extraordinary degree of wisdom required no great number of words for persuading. — COMMENTARY ON PSALM 45

Salmos 45:5

His meaning is, direct well-aimed words, like arrows, at the hearts of the listeners, and as a result all peoples will be subjected to you as well (using a metaphor of people wounding with arrows and subjecting the wounded). He means, your arrows are so effective that not only will they subject disciples but also fall on enemies and bring them into subjection. — COMMENTARY ON PSALM 45

Salmos 45:8

By "buildings" he means houses, and by "ivory" the splendor of the houses, by this implying the churches. So his intention is to say that after the death of Christ splendid and beautiful temples will be erected to him, like the churches to be seen in our day. — COMMENTARY ON PSALM 45

Salmos 45:10

The church was formed from pagans and Jews, so he does well to say "Forget your people and your father's house," meaning idolatry and observance of the law, practicing instead a new life by grace. — COMMENTARY ON PSALM 45
