Psalm 73:28 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 73:28

But it is good for me to draw near to God
In prayer, and other acts of religious worship; to attend the word and ordinances in the sanctuary, where the psalmist had lately been delivered out of a sore temptation, and so had a recent experience, which was fresh in his mind, of the advantages of such exercises; for it is both an honourable good, what is becoming and commendable, and a pleasant good, what yields delight and satisfaction, and a profitable good, to draw nigh to God by Christ, the new and living way, assisted by the Holy Spirit; which, when done aright, is with faith, sincerity, reverence, and a holy boldness:

I have put my trust in the Lord God;
as the rock of his refuge and salvation, as his portion and inheritance:

that I may declare all thy works;
of providence and grace, by proclaiming the wisdom, power, goodness, and faithfulness of God in them; by giving him the glory of them, and by expressing thankfulness for them, both by words and deeds.

Psalm 73:28 In-Context

26 My body and my mind may become weak, but God is my strength. He is mine forever.

27 Those who are far from God will die; you destroy those who are unfaithful.

28 But I am close to God, and that is good. The Lord God is my protection. I will tell all that you have done. A maskil of Asaph.
