The Treasury of David

7. With this verse the first part of the psalm ends. The psalmist has bent
his knee in prayer: he has described before God, as an argument for his
deliverance, the character and fate of the wicked; and now he contrasts this
with the condition of the righteous. But as for me, I will come into thyhouse. I will not stand at a distance, I will come into thy sanctuary, just
as a child comes into his father’s house. But I will not come there by my own
merits; no, I have a multitude of sins, and therefore I will come in themultitude of thy mercy. I will approach thee with confidence because of thy
immeasurable grace. God’s judgments are all numbered, but his mercies are
innumerable. And in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple—the
temple of thy holiness. The temple was not built on earth at that time; it was
but a tabernacle; but David used to turn his eyes spiritually to that temple of
God’s holiness where between the wings of the cherubim Jehovah dwells in light
ineffable. Daniel opened his window towards Jerusalem, but we open our hearts
towards heaven.
