Psalm 45:13
Psalm 45:13
The king's daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold.
The "king's daughter" imagery in this verse evokes a sense of royal honor and dignity, representing someone who is clothed in glory and splendor. The use of "wrought gold" as clothing emphasizes the value, richness, and beauty of the beloved, symbolizing not just physical beauty but the honor and glory that come from God. This verse reflects the idea that the one who is loved is clothed in righteousness, adorned with the blessings and grace that come from the King. In a marriage, this could be seen as a reminder that the union is holy, and both partners are elevated by God's grace. The golden clothing also represents the worth that God places on His people, making them royal in His sight. Just as the king's daughter is honored and adorned with gold, so too are we clothed with the righteousness of Christ, His bride, adorned in beauty and splendor. This verse invites reflection on the honor of being chosen and loved by God, and how that beauty should be reflected in how we love and honor others.

Ecclesiastes 3:11
He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.
1 Samuel 16:7
But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.
