1. How amiable, or, “How lovely!” He does not tell us how
lovely they were, because he could not. His expressions show us that his
feelings were inexpressible. Lovely to the memory, to the mind, to the heart,
to the eye, to the whole soul, are the assemblies of the saints. Earth contains
no sight so refreshing to us as the gathering of believers for worship. Are thy tabernacles. The tabernacle had been pitched in several places, and,
moreover, was divided into several courts and portions; hence, probably, the
plural number is here used. Because they are thy tabernacles, O Lord of hosts, therefore are
they so dear to thy people. Thou rulest all the companies of creatures with
such goodness that all their hosts rejoice in thy dwelling-place, and the bands
of saints especially hail thee with joyful loyalty as Jehovah of hosts.
