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.
Ver. 4. Blessed is the man whom thou choosest] Whom thou choosest for thy love, and then lovest him for thy choice.
And causest to approach unto thee] i.e. Effectually callest. Here vocation is fetched from the fountain (as is also justification in the former verse), viz. God's free election. See that golden chain, Romans 8:30 .
That he may dwell in thy courts] viz. To bear thy word, and partake of thine ordinances. For our Saviour telleth the Jews, He that is of God heareth God's words; ye therefore hear him not, because ye are not of God, John 8:4; our worship scorners, then, have a black brand upon them.
We shall be satisfied] He maketh himself one of the number of God's elect (as Paul also doth often), and therehence concludeth to himself and the rest a beatifical communion of all good things.
