Selah. 5 Blessed *is* the man whose strength *is* in thee; in whose heart *are* the ways *of them*. 6 *Who* passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.** 7 They go from strength to strength, *every one of them* in Zion appeareth before God.* 8 O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah. 9 Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed. 10 For a day in thy courts *is* better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.* 11 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. 12 O LORD of hosts, blessed *is* the man that trusteth in thee. [Psalms 83](/study/psalms/83) [Psalms 85](/study/psalms/85) ## Commentary To verse 1 The *title* here is the same as that of [Psalms 81:1](/kjv/psalms/81/1), only that was for *Asaph*, this *for the sons of Korah*. This person was one of the chief rebels against Moses and Aaron; there were *three, Korah,* *Dathan*, and *Abiram*, who made an insurrection; and the earth opened, and swallowed them and their partisans up, [Numbers 16:31-32](/kjv/numbers/16/31-32). The children of Dathan and Abiram perished with their fathers; but by a particular dispensation of Providence, the children of *Korah* were *spared*. See [Numbers 26:11](/kjv/numbers/26/11), and the *note* there. The family of *Korah* was continued in Israel; and it appears from [1 Chronicles 26:1-19](/kjv/1-chronicles/26/1-19) that they were still employed about the temple, and were *porters* or *keepers of the doors*. They were also *singers* in the temple; see [2 Chronicles 20:19](/kjv/2-chronicles/20/19). This Psalm might have been sent to them to be sung, or one of themselves might have been its author. Verse [Psalms 84:1](/kjv/psalms/84/1). ***How amiable*****are*****thy tabernacles*** — In this *plural* noun he appears to include all the *places* in or near the temple where acts of Divine worship were performed. The holy of holies, the holy place, the altar of incense, the altar of burnt-offering, c., c. all called here God's *tabernacles* or *dwelling-places* for wherever God was worshipped, there he was supposed to dwell. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com","name":"Real Bible Believers","description":"RBB","publisher":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/search?q={search_term_string}","query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"ImageObject","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/clarkes-commentary/psalms/84#primaryimage","inLanguage":"en-US","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/_app/immutable/assets/missing.C7wGMEZ6.jpg","contentUrl":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/_app/immutable/assets/missing.C7wGMEZ6.jpg","width":672,"height":448,"caption":"Real Bible Believers"},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/clarkes-commentary/psalms/84#webpage","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/clarkes-commentary/psalms/84","name":"Psalms 84 - Study King James Bible with clarkes commentary","isPartOf":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website"},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/clarkes-commentary/psalms/84#primaryimage"},"author":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"description":"Read Psalms 84 with clarkes commentary commentary. 1 How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts! 2 My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/clarkes-commentary/psalms/84#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/clarkes-commentary/psalms/84"]}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/clarkes-commentary/psalms/84#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/","name":"Home"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study","name":"Study Bible"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/clarkes-commentary","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/clarkes-commentary","name":"clarkes commentary"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/clarkes-commentary/psalms","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/clarkes-commentary/psalms","name":"Psalms"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":5,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/clarkes-commentary/psalms/84","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/clarkes-commentary/psalms/84","name":"84"}}]},{"@type":["Person","Organization"],"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#personlogo","inLanguage":"en-US","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/android-chrome-512x512.png","contentUrl":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/android-chrome-512x512.png","width":512,"height":512},"logo":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#personlogo"},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/RBiblebeliever","https://www.facebook.com/RBibleBelievers"]}]} ```
