Psalmen 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.

Psalmen 36:8 In-Context

6 O HEERE! Uw goedertierenheid is tot in de hemelen; Uw waarheid tot de bovenste wolken toe.
7 Uw gerechtigheid is als de bergen Gods; Uw oordelen zijn een grote afgrond; HEERE! Gij behoudt mensen en beesten.
8 Hoe dierbaar is Uw goedertierenheid, o God! Dies de mensenkinderen onder de schaduw Uwer vleugelen toevlucht nemen.
9 Zij worden dronken van de vettigheid Uws huizes; en Gij drenkt hen uit de beek Uwer wellusten.
10 Want bij U is de fontein des levens; in Uw licht zien wij het licht.
