Psalms 45:17

The poet's song will perpetuate the memory of the king; and that not in Israel only, but among other peoples (Psalms 72:17).

therefore shall the people praise thee Therefore shall the peoples praise thee, or (R.V.) give thee thanks: a word commonly applied to God (Psalms 42:5; Psalms 42:11; Psalms 43:4-5; and often), rarely to men (Genesis 49:8; Psalms 49:18). Solomon's name is remembered while the names of monarchs far more powerful from a worldly point of view have been forgotten, because God had made him His representative and the head of His visible kingdom upon earth, the type of His perfect representative who should come to establish His universal kingdom among men.
