INTRODUCTION TO Psalms 84 To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. Of "gittith", [See comments on Psalms 8:1]. The Targum renders it here, as there, "to praise upon the harp that was brought from Gath;'' and of the sons of Korah, [See comments on Psalms 42:1] and the argument of this psalm is thought to be much the same with that and Psalms 43:1. It was, very probably,...

For the Lord God is a sun and shield,.... Christ is "the sun of righteousness", and it is in the house of God that he arises upon his people with healing in his wings, Malachi 4:2 he is like the sun, the great light, the fountain of light, the light of the world, that dispels darkness, makes day, and gives light to all the celestial bodies, moon and stars, church and ministers; he is a "sun" to...
Matthew Henry
Though David's name be not in the title of this psalm, yet we have reason to think he was the penman of it, because it breathes so much of his excellent spirit and is so much like the sixty-third psalm which was penned by him; it is supposed that David penned this psalm when he was forced by Absalom's rebellion to quit his city, which he lamented his absence from, not so much because it was the...

For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. Take notice of the whole of that last sentence; do not go and quote half of it, and say, “God has promised that he will withhold no good thing.” It is only promised to “them that walk uprightly”; and if you walk crookedly, the promise does not belong to you.
