In Jewish tradition

"Adornments of holiness" probably means holy robes or splendid array in which the people come to serve God.

Interpretation. Tradition reads the psalm as speaking of the future king, a descendant of David, and of a people ready to serve him in holiness.

Examples

  • Thy people offer themselves willingly in the day of thy warfare; in adornments of holiness, from the womb of the dawn, thine is the dew of thy youth. (Writings PSA.110.3, JPS 1917) tree →
