13. The king’s daughter is all glorious within. Within her secret chambers her glory is great. Though unseen of men,
her Lord sees her, and commends her. Or the passage may be understood as
meaning that within herself—her beauty is not outward only or mainly. Truth and
wisdom in the hidden parts are what the Lord regards. The church is a king’s
daughter, and she has been purified and renewed in nature, for she is glorious
within. Note the word all. Christ’s church will be presented without
spot or wrinkle. Her clothing is of wrought gold. How laboriously did
our Lord work out the precious material of his righteousness into a vesture for
his people! Such clothing becomes one so honored by relationship to the great
King.
