Psalm 87
This psalm contains a commendation of Zion, a type of the
gospel-church, which is here preferred before the rest of the land
of Canaan, ver. 1, 2, 3. And before any other place, as being filled
with more eminent men, and more of divine blessings, ver. 4-7. A
psalm or song for the sons of Korah.
Verse 1. Its foundation - The foundation of the temple of God.
Verse 2. Zion - That is, Zion itself, or Jerusalem, which was built upon
and near mount Zion. He saith Zion rather than Jerusalem, to
intimate that he loved Jerusalem for Zion's sake, or for the temple,
which he chose for his peculiar dwelling place.
Verse 4. Rahab - Egypt, so called, either from its pride or natural
strength. Babylon - Under these two and Philistia, the constant
enemies of Israel, he seems to understand all the enemies of the
church of God, who shall now be not only reconciled but united to
them. Arabia - The nations on every side of them, for Tyre was on
the north, Arabia on the South; those nearest to them, and those
more remote from them.
Verse 5. Zion - Of Jerusalem, or the church of God. Said - It shall be
acknowledged. Man - Hebrew. Man and man, all sorts of men
without difference of nations. Establish - And this shall not be a
transient, but a lasting work; Zion shall continue in its strength
and fertility because the Almighty God is her founder and
protector.
Verse 6. When - When God, the maker and governor of this city shall
take a survey of all his citizens. It is an allusion to princes or
governors of cities that use to write and keep a register of all their
people.
Verse 7. Singers - There shall be great rejoicing and praising God, both
with vocal and instrumental musick, for this glorious work of the
conversion of the Gentiles. He describe's evangelical worship, by
legal phrases and customs, as the prophets frequently do. In thee -
In Zion or the church. These words may be here added as the
burden of the song, which these singers are supposed to have
sung, in the name of all the people of God. All our desires and
delights are in thee, all the springs of mercy, grace, and glory,
flow to us only in and thro' thee.
