This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
A crown of glory; an expression to set forth the dignity of her state.
In the hand of the Lord, i.e. either as placed upon thee by God’s hand, that he will dispose of or dispense to thee; a usual form of speech in Scripture, as Hag_1:1, by the hand of Haggai: so Mal_1:1. Or, in the hand of God; he shall so manage thine honourable estate, that thou shalt be a crown, a credit, and honour to him; and so the word crown may be used for any kind of ornament, or matter of honour. Or, preserved and defended by God’s hand; a phrase that expresseth it to be out of all danger, as to put a man’s life in his hands is to expose it to dangers, Jud_12:3 1Sa_19:5 28:21.
A royal diadem; the same thing with the former for substance. Or, the royal priesthood, whereof the apostle speaks, 1Pe_2:9.
