Psalms 65:4

4. Whom thou choosest See Psalms 4:3.

Causest to approach… thee A priestly honour under the law, (Numbers 16:8,) but offered now to all. (Hebrews 10:19-22.)

Satisfied with the goodness of thy house To be “satisfied” with God’s gifts and favour, so that the heart gratefully rests there, is the highest return we can make to him; while to profess his name and still seek our pleasure in the world is the greatest reproach to him and to the religion we profess.

Thy holy temple The word is simply synonymous with the terms “thy courts” and “thy house” in this same verse, and is no proof that this psalm was of later date than David’s time. See its use in 1Sa 1:9 ; 1 Samuel 3:3, where it applies to the tabernacle.
