Browse · Psalms · 84
1! Dauid driuen frorth of his countrey,
1a Dauid complaineth that he can not haue accesse to the Church of God to make profession of his faith ??? to profit in religion.
2! Desireth moste ardently to come againe to the Tabernacle of the Lord & the assemblie of the Saints to praise God.
2b For none but the priests colde enter in to the Sanctuarie, & the rest of the people into the courtes.
3c So that the poore birdes haue more libertie then I.
4! Pronouncing them blessed that maie so do.
5d Who trusteth nothing in him self, but in thee onely, & learneth of thee to rule his life.
6! Then he praiseth the courage of the people that passe through the wildernes to assemble them selues in Zion.
6e That is, of mulberietrees which was a baren place: so that they which passed through must dig pits for water: signifying no lets can hinder them that are fully bent to come to Christs
7f Thei are neuer wearie, but increase in strength & courage til thei come to Gods House.
9g That is, for Chrsts sake, whose figure I represent.
10! Finally with praise of this matter & confidence of Gods goodnes he endeth the Psalme.
10h He wolde wish to liue but one daie rather in Gods Church, then a thousand among the worldelings.
11i But wil from time to time increase his blessings towards his more and more.
