Psalm 69:35-36 ESV

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 69:36

The seed also of his servants shall inherit it. Nor shall the city alone—the mere walls and buildings—continue to exist. "The seed of God's servants"—his people Israel—shall continue to inhabit it. And they that love his Name shall dwell therein. When the earthly Zion fell away and forfeited the promises, they passed to the heavenly Zion (Hebrew 12:22)—the Church of God, the true Israel. read more
