Psalm 84
1. The prophet, longing for the communion of the sanctuary
4. Shows how blessed they are that dwell therein
8. He prays to be restored unto it.














(1) How amiable.--Better, How loved and how lovable. The Hebrew word combines both senses.

Tabernacles.--Better, perhaps, dwellings. (Comp. Psalm 43:3.) The plural is used poetically, therefore we need not think of the various courts of the Temple.

Verse 1. - How amiable are thy tabernacles! or, "how lovely are thy dwellings!!" The plural is used, as in Psalm 43:3; Psalm 46:4 (also Korahite); and Psalms 132:7, either because the temple was made up of several compartments, or as a "plural of dignity." O Lord of hosts (comp. vers. 3, 8, 12).
