Psalms 44:8
A church father on this verse
“The rich glory in their wealth; the luxurious in their dinner parties; the impure glory in night and darkness; the powerful glory in this life that has nights. But the just does not glory in this life but in the Lord God whom he strives to please in all that he does.”

In context
6Thy weapons are sharpened, Mighty One (The nations shall fall under thee); They are in the heart of the king’s enemies.
7Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever: The scepter of thy kingdom is a scepter of righteousness.
— Psalms 44:8 —
9Myrrh, and stacte, and cassia are exhaled from thy garments, And out of the ivory palaces,
10With which kings’ daughters have gladdened thee for thine honor: The queen stood by on thy right hand, clothed in vesture wrought with gold, And arrayed in diverse colors.
