Psalm 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.

Psalm 36:8 In-Context

6 His purpose titanic, his verdicts oceanic. Yet in his largeness nothing gets lost; Not a man, not a mouse, slips through the cracks.
7 How exquisite your love, O God! How eager we are to run under your wings,
8 To eat our fill at the banquet you spread as you fill our tankards with Eden spring water.
9 You're a fountain of cascading light, and you open our eyes to light.
10 Keep on loving your friends; do your work in welcoming hearts.
