Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
In the courts of the Lord's house - See the notes at Psa 65:4. Compare Psa 84:2; Psa 92:13; Psa 96:8; Psa 100:4; Psa 135:2.
In the midst of thee, O Jerusalem - Where the tabernacle, and afterward the temple, was reared.
Praise ye the Lord - Hallelujah. A call on others to join in the praise of God. The psalmist felt his own heart drawn to the service of praise by all the mercies of God; he desired, as an expression of his own feelings, that others should unite with him in that sacred exercise. When our own hearts are filled with gratitude, we wish that all others may partake of the same feeling. |
Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
In the midst of thee, O Jerusalem - He speaks as if present in the city, offering his vowed sacrifices in the temple to the Lord.
Most of this Psalm has been applied to our Lord and his Church; and in this way it has been considered as prophetic; and, taken thus, it is innocently accommodated, and is very edifying. This is the interpretation given of the whole by the old Psalter. |
2 Ye that stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God,
4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
8 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts.
13 Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.
2 My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.
4 Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple.
