Theological / Devotional

Blessed. See on Ps. 1:1.

Dwell in thy courts. It was an Israelite’s unique privilege to worship in the sacred courts of the sanctuary. Three times a year all mature Hebrew males were required to come to the sanctuary for the celebration of religious services. Those who lived nearby might have constant access to its courts.

Temple. Heb. hekal. The word may refer to either the Temple (of Solomon) or the tabernacle (see on Ps. 5:7).
