Commentary on Psalms 87:2
Theological / DevotionalGates of Zion. The gates of a city were the places where business was transacted, where courts were held, where the pulse of human activity was felt (see Ps. 9:14; 122:2; Isa. 29:21). By figure, “gates” represent the entire city. God beheld with great pleasure the multitudes pressing through the gates on their way to Zion.
Dwellings. Perhaps the various places where the Hebrews lived; or, specifically, the various places where the ark had reposed before it was brought to Jerusalem by David.
