Salmi 84:12 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 84:12

O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee,
&c.] For grace and glory, and every good thing; that trusts in the Lord at all times, and not in the creature, or in an arm of flesh; but in the Lord of hosts and armies, in whom is everlasting strength, and is the sun and shield of his people: happy are such that trust in him, whether they have ability or opportunity of going up to the house of the Lord, or not; they are happy that have and make use thereof, and so are they that trust in the Lord, whether they have or not; they are safe, being as Mount Zion, which can never be removed; and do and shall enjoy perfect peace and solid comfort here, and eternal happiness hereafter; see ( Jeremiah 17:5 Jeremiah 17:7 ) ( Isaiah 26:3 Isaiah 26:4 ) . The Targum is,

``blessed is the man that trusteth in thy Word;''

in Christ, the essential Word.

Salmi 84:12 In-Context

10 Poiché un giorno ne’ tuoi cortili val meglio che mille altrove. Io vorrei piuttosto starmene sulla soglia della casa del mio Dio, che abitare nelle tende degli empi.

11 Perché l’Eterno Iddio è sole e scudo; l’Eterno darà grazia e gloria. Egli non ricuserà alcun bene a quelli che camminano nella integrità.

12 O Eterno degli eserciti, beato l’uomo che confida in te!
