Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Psalms 45:15
With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the king’s palace.
15. shall they be brought ] Shall they be conducted, as in Psa 45:14. The procession which conducted the bride to her new home was an important part of the marriage ceremony, and was always accompanied with songs and music and dancing and every mark of rejoicing. See 1Ma 9:37 ff. “The children of Jambrin made a great marriage, and were bringing the bride from Nadabath with a great escort, inasmuch as she was the daughter of one of the great nobles of Canaan. And there was much ado, and a great train of baggage; and the bridegroom came forth with his friends and his brethren to meet them, with drums and instruments of music and many weapons.”

With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought – They shall come forth, attending the bride, with music and songs; the procession will be one of hilarity and joy.
They shall enter into the kings palace – That is, Moving from the palace of the royal father of the bride, or from her home, they will enter the palace of her husband, her future home. If this is designed to refer to the church, it is a beautiful description of what will occur when the church redeemed shall enter heaven, the home – the palace – the glorious abode – of the great king its Saviour, and of the joy that will attend its triumphant admission into those everlasting abodes. Compare the notes at Rev. 21.

With, gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought,…. With joy unspeakable, and full of glory in themselves, because of what they shall be delivered from; from all outward troubles and afflictions; from all inward distresses, darkness, doubts, and fears; from sin, Satan, and all spiritual enemies; and because of what they shall enjoy, communion with God, angels and saints, the vision of God in Christ, conformity to him, perfect knowledge, complete holiness and happiness, and a glory both upon their souls and bodies: they shall also be brought with the joy of Christ’s faithful minister, who will rejoice in that day that they have not run nor laboured in vain; and with the joy of all the holy angels; and with the joy of Christ the King himself, who always rejoiced in them and over them; yea, with the rejoicing of Father, Son, and Spirit: the Father will rejoice to see those brought in whom he has loved with an everlasting love, has chosen in Christ, given to him, and whom he sent his Son to redeem: the Son of God will rejoice to see those presented to him whom he has loved and betrothed to himself; who are the purchase of his blood, and the travail of his soul; who are his jewels, treasure and portion: and the Holy Spirit will rejoice to see those brought to glory whom he has been the convincer, comforter, and sealer of; whom he has been at work upon, and has wrought them up for this selfsame thing:
they shall enter into the King’s palace; into heaven, the palace of the King Messiah, the King of kings and King of saints; where are mansions preparing for them, suitable to their high birth and character, as the daughters of a king; and where they shall enter, not merely to see it and go out again, but to dwell in it with their Lord, Head, and Husband, for evermore; and that as in their own palace, upon the foot of their relation to Christ, interest in him, right and meetness by him.

Psa 45:15
Psa 45:15
“With gladness and rejoicing shall they be led:
They shall enter in to the king’s palace.”
These words conclude the portion of the psalm addressed to the Bride; and what we have here is positively not “The Processional” for some ancient Jewish wedding, but the procession of the Saints of God into the eternal home of the soul. As Isaiah saw the same thing:
“And the ransomed of Jehovah shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads: they shall obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away” (Isa 35:10).
Yes, what we have here is a prophetic promise of that day, “When the Saints Go Marching In”! As the prayerful song has it, “Lord, I want to be in that number, When the saints go marching in.”
E.M. Zerr:
Psa 45:15. Gladness and rejoicing are practically the same in meaning. The first refers especially to the state of one’s mind and the second is the outward expression of it. The companions of the king’s daughter will come into the palace possessed with such sentiments because of the favorable surroundings.
