William Kelly Major Works Commentary To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts! It is "To the chief musician, on the Gittith, for the sons of Korah, a psalm." Hence in this psalm the joy of dwelling where Jehovah of host dwells, of the living God in His courts fills the heart with blessedness in contemplation; as also the blessedness of going there for those on the way: all summed up in the blessing of trusting Jehovah of hosts.My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.

O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee. Kelly Commentary on Books of the Bible Text Courtesy of BibleSupport.com. Used by Permission. Bible Hub |
