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,...

Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee, e.] Or, "for thee", as some choose to render the words who have bodily strength from the Lord, for his worship and service, to go up to his house, and serve him: this, with what follows in the two next verses, seem to refer to the males in Israel going up from different parts of the land to Jerusalem to worship, who had strength so to do; when the...
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...

Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them. Or, as it might be rendered, “In whose heart are thy ways.” The man whose strength is wholly derived from God, and who spends all his strength in God’s service, — the man who has God’s ways in his heart, and his heart in God’s ways, must be blessed. This is the man to get the blessing that the Lord is waiting to...
Charles H. Spurgeon
Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways — Or,” Thy ways.” It is not every man who is in God’s house who is blessed; the blessed man is the one who has brought his heart with him. It is not every man who is in God’s ways who is blessed; but the man whose strength is in those ways, who throws his whole heart and soul into the worship. Half-hearted worship is dreary...
