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 Mon âme soupire et languit après les parvis de l'Eternel, Mon coeur et ma chair poussent des cris vers le Dieu vivant.

3 Le passereau même trouve une maison, Et l'hirondelle un nid où elle dépose ses petits... Tes autels, Eternel des armées! Mon roi et mon Dieu!

4 Heureux ceux qui habitent ta maison! Ils peuvent te célébrer encore. Pause.

5 Heureux ceux qui placent en toi leur appui! Ils trouvent dans leur coeur des chemins tout tracés.

6 Lorsqu'ils traversent la vallée de Baca, Ils la transforment en un lieu plein de sources, Et la pluie la couvre aussi de bénédictions.
