Salmos 84:8 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 84:8

O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer
the redemption of the captives, says Kimchi; for the building of the house, the temple, according to Jarchi; but rather for the courts of God, an opportunity of attending them, and for the presence of God in them; see ( Psalms 84:2 ) in which he might hope to succeed, from the consideration of the Lord's being the God of hosts, or armies, in heaven and in earth; and so was able to do everything for him, and more for him than he could ask or think; his arm was not shortened, nor his ear heavy, ( Isaiah 59:1 ) , and as this character is expressive of his power, the following is of his grace:

give ear, O God of Jacob;
he being the covenant God of the people of Israel in general, and of David in particular; from whence he might comfortably conclude he would give ear to him, and it carries in it an argument why he should.

Selah. (See Gill on Psalms 3:2).

Salmos 84:8 In-Context

6 Cuando anden por el Valle del Llanto,
se convertirá en un lugar de manantiales refrescantes;
las lluvias de otoño lo cubrirán de bendiciones.

7 Ellos se harán cada vez más fuertes,
y cada uno se presentará delante de Dios en Jerusalén.

Dios de los Ejércitos Celestiales, oye mi oración;

9 ¡Oh Dios, mira con favor al rey, nuestro escudo!
Muestra bondad a quien has ungido.

10 Un solo día en tus atrios,
¡es mejor que mil en cualquier otro lugar!
Prefiero ser un portero en la casa de mi Dios
que vivir la buena vida en la casa de los perversos.
