Psaume 36:8 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 36:8

They shall be abundantly sallied with the fatness of thy
house
By his "house" is meant the church of God, of his building, and where he dwells; by the fatness of it the provisions there, the word and ordinances, and the blessings of grace which they hold forth; and especially Christ, the fatted calf, the bread of life, whose flesh is meat indeed, and whose blood is drink indeed, and which make a feast of fat things; and these they that trust in the Lord are welcome to eat and drink of abundantly, and to abundant satisfaction; see ( Matthew 5:6 ) ( Psalms 22:26 ) ;

and thou shall make them drink of the river of thy pleasure;
the love of God, whose streams make glad the city of God; or the fulness of grace, which is in Christ, out of which believers draw with joy, and drink with pleasure; or eternal glory and happiness, enjoyed in the presence of God, in which is fulness of joy, and at whose right hand are pleasures for evermore; a never ceasing torrent of them.

Psaume 36:8 In-Context

6 Éternel, ta bonté atteint jusqu'aux cieux, ta fidélité jusqu'aux nues.

7 Ta justice est comme les montagnes de Dieu; tes jugements sont un grand abîme. Éternel, tu conserves les hommes et les bêtes.

8 O Dieu, que ta bonté est précieuse! Aussi les fils des hommes se retirent sous l'ombre de tes ailes.

9 Ils sont rassasiés de l'abondance de ta maison, et tu les abreuves au fleuve de tes délices.

10 Car la source de la vie est auprès de toi; c'est par ta lumière que nous voyons la lumière.
