1;  The majesty and grace of Christ's kingdom.
 10;  The duty of the church, and the benefits thereof.

 * (Title.)  To the chief.
   Or, rather, "To the chief musician upon the hexachords, a
   didactic ode for the sons of Korah, and a song of loves."
   {Shoshannim} most probably denotes hexachords, or six-stringed
   instruments, from {shesh,} "six:"  hence the Persian {shasta,}
   a six-stringed lute.  This Psalm is supposed by some to be an
   epithalamium, or nuptial song, on the marriage of Solomon with
   Pharaoh's daughter; but with what propriety could Solomon be
   described as fairer than the children of men, a mighty
   warrior, a victorious conqueror, and a prince whose throne is
   for ever and ever?  A greater than Solomon is here; and the
   person described is no other than the Messiah, as is
   acknowledged by many Jewish writers.  The Targum on ver. 3
   says, "Thy beauty, {malka meshecha,} O King Messiah, is
   greater than the children of men;" and the Apostle expressly
   quotes it as such Heb 1:8, 9.  It was probably written by
   David after Nathan's prophetic address 1; Ch 17:27.
