Psalms 84:9 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

No one can be at a loss to explain this verse, which contains an immediate address to God in the name of Christ. For who is God's anointed but Jesus? Here is a verse all over gospel. No New Testament believer can put up a more faithful petition with reference to Jesus, than is here put up by the church of the Old Testament saints. Oh! for grace to be in the daily use of it. And while God the Father proclaims, as he doth from heaven concerning Jesus, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him; do thou, my soul, carry back with thee God's own words, in God's own authority, and say, Behold, O God, our shield, and look upon the face of thine Anointed!
