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 Anhelo y hasta desfallezco de deseo
por entrar en los atrios del Señor
.
Con todo mi ser, mi cuerpo y mi alma,
gritaré con alegría al Dios viviente.

3 Hasta el gorrión encuentra un hogar
y la golondrina construye su nido y cría a sus polluelos
cerca de tu altar,
¡oh Señor
de los Ejércitos Celestiales, mi Rey y mi Dios!

4 ¡Qué alegría para los que pueden vivir en tu casa
cantando siempre tus alabanzas!

,
los que se proponen caminar hasta Jerusalén!

6 Cuando anden por el Valle del Llanto,
se convertirá en un lugar de manantiales refrescantes;
las lluvias de otoño lo cubrirán de bendiciones.
