Psalms 65:4 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Blessed. — The ellipse of the relative is common enough (see Psalms 34:8, &c), but here the antecedent is wanting as well. Perhaps we ought to read, He whom thou choosest and bringest near shall dwell, &c

Courts. — From a root meaning to wall round; especially applied to the open space within the outer fence of the Tabernacle, or to the different courts of the Temple (Exodus 27:9; 1 Kings 6:36; 1 Kings 7:12).

We shall be satisfied. — Better, Let us be refreshed.

Thy holy temple. — Literally, The holy of thy temple, which might mean “the holiness of thy temple.”

Psalms 65:4

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.
