4. Blessed are they that dwell in thy house. Those he
esteems to be highly favored who are constantly engaged in divine worship. To
come and go is refreshing, but to abide in the place of prayer must be heaven
below. They will be still praising thee. So near to God, their very life
must be adoration. Surely their hearts and tongues never cease from magnifying
the Lord. We fear David here drew rather a picture of what should be than of
what is; for those occupied daily with the offices needful for public worship
are not always among the most devout. Yet in a spiritual sense this is most
true, for those children of God who in spirit abide ever in his house are also
ever full of the praises of God. They fail to praise the Lord who wander far
from him, but those who dwell in him are always magnifying him. Selah.
Pause and meditate on the prospect of dwelling with God and praising him
throughout eternity.
