## 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 →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/A/adornment/#x1)
