Psalms 87:5 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her. This and that man was born in her - It will be an honor to any person to have been born in Zion. But how great is the honor to be born from above, and be a citizen of the Jerusalem that is from above! To be children of God, by faith in Christ Jesus! The Targum has, "David the king, and Solomon his son, were brought up here."

The Highest himself shall establish her - The Christian Church is built on the foundation of the prophets and apostles; Jesus Christ himself being the Cornerstone.
