Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 84:1-12

Psalms 84This psalm, like Psalms 42, 43, expresses the writer’s desire for the Lord’s sanctuary. It is one of the pilgrim or ascent psalms that the Israelites sang as they traveled to the sanctuary to worship God (cf. Psalms 120-134). In it, the unknown writer declared the blessed condition of those who go to the temple to pray to Yahweh. The sons of Korah were those who arranged and or sang this psalm in Israel’s public worship. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 84:10-12

He valued standing and serving in the temple because there he could experience intimacy with God. He could occupy himself with Yahweh and His worship intensively. That is all people usually did in the temple. Consequently, wickedness was less prevalent there than anywhere else. God’s beneficent influence is sun-like, providing light and warmth on those below. He also protects those close to Him. He gives unmerited favor and divine enablement (grace) as well as honor (glory). He sends only good... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 84:1-12

This Ps. sets forth the attractiveness of the Temple and its worship (Psalms 84:1-4), and the happiness of the pilgrims who gather to it from different parts of the land (Psalms 84:5-7). After a prayer for God’s favour (Psalms 84:8-9), it speaks of the privilege of the humblest office in the Temple (Psalms 84:10), and closes by describing the graciousness of God (Psalms 84:11), and the blessedness of trusting Him (Psalms 84:12). The Ps. belongs to a period when the Temple was standing, and when... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Psalms 84:1-12

Psalms 84:0 Foxe, in his Book of Martyrs, under the year 1554, in the reign of Queen Mary, gives an account of the youthful martyr. It is taken from his brother's narration. 'He suffered with great constancy, and recited the 84th Psalm as he was a-dying. Then there was a gentleman who said, "I pray God have mercy upon his soul". The people said, "Amen, Amen". Immediately fire was made. Then William cast his Psalter right into his brother's hand, who said, "William, think on the holy passion of... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Psalms 84:1-12

Psalms 84:1-12THE same longing for and delight in the sanctuary which found pathetic expression in Psalms 42:1-11 and Psalms 43:1-5, inspire this psalm. Like these, it is ascribed in the superscription to the Korachites, whose office of door keepers in the Temple seems alluded to in Psalms 84:10. To infer, however, identity of authorship from similarity of tone is hazardous. The differences are as obvious as the resemblances. As Cheyne well says, "the notes of the singer of Psalms 42:1-11 and... read more

Psalm 84-89 Psalms 84:0 In View of the Sanctuary 1. Heart longings (Psalms 84:1-7 ) 2. In the sanctuary (Psalms 84:8-12 ) The two next Psalms are of the sons of Korah, who themselves are monuments of saving grace. (They were saved from the fate of Korah; see Numbers 26:10-11 .) In these precious outpourings of the heart for the sanctuary of the Lord, we read prophetically the heart longings of the remnant of Israel. They are not yet in possession of the fullest blessings but look forward... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Psalms 84:1-12

The first psalm in this lesson suggests Psalms 74:0 on which we did not dwell, but both of which depict the desolations of Judah by the Babylonians (compare Jeremiah 52:12-14 ). On this supposition their date would be that of the captivity, and their author a later Asaph than the Asaph mentioned in David’s time. Psalms 80:0 Has captivity features also. Some would say it relates to the ten tribes, as the preceding psalm does to Judah. The next several psalms are much alike in this respect and... read more

How beautifully and divinely the Psalm closeth! Oh Reader! may your heart and mine join issue with it! Blessed is the nation, blessed the family, blessed the man, who trusteth to a God in Christ! REFLECTIONS HAIL! thou holy, thou blessed, thou anointed of God! Oh! let thy name be ever to my soul as ointment poured forth. For while any God and Father looks upon the face of his anointed, Jesus is my sun and shield, And looking up to him whom the Father beholds, always apprehending and laying hold... read more
