| 1 ¶ <<To the chief
Musician, A Psalm and Song of David.>> Praise waiteth for thee, O God,
in Sion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed.
.2 O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come. 3 Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away. |
1
- Praise waiteth Literally "to
thee is silence – praise." The voice of God is clearer to one waits in
calm silence. ps04610.
2 - All flesh We also see the universality of God's grace in other verses of this psalm. |
| 4 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.
.5 By terrible [or "awesome"] things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation; who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea: |
4 -
Choosest
Many are called but few are chosen . They seek the Lord. mt2214,
mt2016.
4 - Goodness of thy house The temple or tabernacle (tent prepared in the wilderness) represents the process of bringing humans into harmony with God. 4 - Temple From hekal which may refer to either tabernacle or temple. 5 - Ends of the earth God is the hope of everyone. |
| 6 ¶ Which by his strength
setteth fast the mountains; being girded with power:
.7 Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people. 8 They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens: thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice. |
6 -
Strength
... mountains See ps03606,
ps09504.
7 - Stilleth ... seas God calms people as He does the seas. This relationship is part of the basis of the symbolism in re1715. Image

| 9 Thou visitest the
earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God,
which is full of water: thou preparest them corn [grain], when thou hast
so provided for it.
10 Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest the furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing thereof. 11 Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness. 12 They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side. 13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing. |
9 -
