Psalms 135:2
Ye that stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God,
135:2. You are highly favored; you are the domestics of the palace, nearest to the Father of the heavenly family, privileged to find your home in his house; therefore you must, beyond all others, abound in thanksgiving. You stand, or abide, in the temple; you are constant occupants of its various courts; and therefore from you we expect unceasing praise. Should not ministers be celebrated for celebrating the praises of Jehovah? Should not church officers and church members excel all others in the excellent duty of adoration? Should not all of every degree who wait even in his outer courts unite in his worship? Ought not the least and feeblest of his people to proclaim his praises, in company with those who live nearest to him? Is it not a proper thing to remind them of their obligations? Is not the psalmist wise when he does so in this case and in many others? Those who can call Jehovah our God are highly blessed, and therefore should abound in the work of blessing him. Perhaps this is the sweetest word in these two verses, signifying possession, communion in possession, assurance of possession, delight in possession. Oh the unutterable joy of calling God our own!
