The Pulpit Commentary on Psalms 45:11

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

So shall the King greatly desire thy beauty. Devotion to her Lord will win her his tender regard, and make her other charms and graces please and delight him. For he is thy Lord; i.e. thy Lord and Master, entitled to thy utmost love and obedience, nay, to thy "worship "—therefore, Worship thou him.

Worship, in a certain sense, is due from every wife to every husband; but the Church's worship of Christ is worship in the absolutely highest sense (Revelation 5:6-14).
