Psalms 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.

Psalms 36:8 In-Context

6 Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; your judging is like the great deep; O Lord, you give life to man and beast.

7 How good is your loving mercy, O God! the children of men take cover under the shade of your wings.

8 The delights of your house will be showered on them; you will give them drink from the river of your pleasures.

9 For with you is the fountain of life: in your light we will see light.

10 O let there be no end to your loving mercy to those who have knowledge of you, or of your righteousness to the upright in heart.
