Commentary on Psalms 27:4

Theological / Devotional

One thing. David’s longing to be engaged perpetually in the service of God, to be a perpetual guest of the heavenly Host, is beautifully expressed in this psalm (see Ps. 15, 23, 65).

Beauty. Heb. no‘am, “graciousness,” “kindness.”

Enquire in his temple. At the Christian sanctuary our minds are enlightened, our doubts removed, and our hearts comforted by God’s truth.
