Psalm 84:4 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 84:4

Blessed are they that dwell in thy house
The house of God, in his tabernacles and courts; referring to the priests and Levites, who were frequently officiating there, in their turns, night and day; and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and Gibeon, where the ark and tabernacle were, who had frequent opportunities of attendance on divine worship: and happy are those who have a name and place in the church of God, who abide there, and never go out; see ( Psalms 65:4 ) , the Targum is,

``blessed are the righteous''

and the Arabic version, "blessed are all they that dwell, &c", they are happy on account of their settlement, and also on account of their work, as follows:

they will be still praising thee;
which is delightful employment; for praise is pleasant and comely; and in which they are continually and constantly engaged, as their mercies return upon them, as they do every day; and especially on Lord's days, or at the stated times of public worship; such will bless and praise the Lord, both for temporal and spiritual blessings, as long as they live; see ( Hebrews 13:15 ) .

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

Psalm 84:4 In-Context

2 L’anima mia brama i cortili del Signore, e vien meno; Il mio cuore e la mia carne sclamano all’Iddio vivente.

3 Anche la passera si trova stanza, E la rondinella nido, ove posino i lor figli Presso a’ tuoi altari, o Signor degli eserciti, Re mio, e Dio mio.

4 Beati coloro che abitano nella tua Casa, E ti lodano del continuo. Sela.

5 Beato l’uomo che ha forza in te; E coloro che hanno le tue vie nel cuore;

6 I quali, passando per la valle de’ gelsi, La riducono in fonti, Ed anche in pozze che la pioggia empie.
