He feedeth among the lilies—“The meek will He guide in judgment; the meek will He teach His way.”
6:4. Thou art beautiful—At heart. The Lord again addresses His Bride.
O My love—“Love one another as I have loved you.”
As Tirzah—A delight.
Comely as Jerusalem—“The City of the Great King.”
Terrible—In the conquest of evil.
As an army with banners—To an opposing host.
6:5. Turn away thine eyes from Me—Observe the Lord's modesty and humility.
For they have overcome Me—How the Lord delights to express His appreciation of the virtues of His Bride, despite the fact that they are all but feeble reflections of His own!
Thy hair—Righteousness. Woman's hair was given her for a covering, and it is her glory. The righteousness of Christ is the Bride's covering, and it is her glory.
