Theological / Devotional

Daughter of Tyre. Persons of wealth or rank will bring wedding gifts, considering it a privilege thus to honor the marriage. Compare the expression “daughter of Zion” (Isa. 1:8). At the time of the psalmist, Tyre was probably the most wealthy commercial city known to the Jews. On the wealth of Tyre, see Isa. 23:1–8; Eze. 26; 27.
