This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Thou choosest, out of the lump of mankind, to be one of thy peculiar people.
Causest, i.e. permittest and commandest, and by the disposal of thy providence, and the influences of thy grace, procurest and orderest.
To approach unto thee; to draw near to God in his house and ordinances by prayer and praises, and other acts of acquaintance and communion with him.
In thy courts; in the courts of thy house. He mentioneth courts, because the people were permitted to go no further into God’s house.
Shall be satisfied; for they only get that solid satisfaction which all men desire, but no other persons or people can find elsewhere.
With the goodness of thy house; with the spiritual and everlasting blessings there conferred upon thy people, the grace, and favour, and fellowship of God, remission of sins, renovation of heart and life, the knowledge of God, and of ourselves, and of our duty and true interest, joy, and peace, and well-grounded hopes or assurance of eternal life; in comparison whereof all the enjoyments of this world are but dross and dung.
