Psalm 65:4 Blessed is the man whom you choose, and cause to approach to you, that he may dwell in your courts… The saints of God are blessed — I. IN FEELING THE JOYS OF DEVOTION. II. IN OBTAINING THE FORGIVENESS OF SIN. III. IN FINDING A RETREAT FROM AFFLICTION. IV. IN THE ANTICIPATION OF A BETTER WORLD. As the mariner who has been long tossed on a troubled ocean, or detained in a foreign country, is desirous to revisit his native shore, and, when he first discovers the hoary rocks of the green isle rising with rugged grandeur above the waves, his eye beams with joy; so the saint who has been sojourning many a tedious year in a waste howling desert, pants to behold the beauty of paradise, and darts his eye radiant with rapture towards the delightful abode. (T. Laurie, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple. |
