Psalms 44:1--45:17

clearly heard <08085> [have heard.]
days .... times <03117> [in the times.]
occupy <03423> [drive out.]
<07489> [how thou didst afflict, etc.]
Or, rather, "how thou didst afflict the peoples (of Canaan,) and madest them (the Hebrews) to shoot forth;" for {shalach} is to send forth in any manner, and is applied to a vine spreading its roots, etc. Ps 89:9; Eze 17:6; Jer 17:8; and this sense is parallel with plantedst in the former line.

music director <05329> [(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.
