Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 8. They shall be abundantly satisfied ] ywry yirveyun, they shall be saturated, as a thirsty field is by showers from heaven. Inebriaduntur, they shall be inebriated. - Vulgate. "That sal be drunken of the plenteuoste of thi house." -Old Psalter. This refers to the joyous expectation they had of being restored to their own land, and to the ordinances of the temple.
Of the river of thy pleasures. ] űynda ljn nachal adaneycha, (or űnd[ edencha, as in four MSS.,) the river of thy Eden. They shall be restored to their paradisaical estate; for here is a reference to the river that ran through the garden of Eden, and watered it; Gen. ii. 10. Or the temple, and under it the Christian Church, may be compared to this Eden; and the gracious influences of God to be had in his ordinances, to the streams by which that garden was watered, and its fertility promoted.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 5-12 - Men may shut up their compassion, yet, with God we shall find mercy This is great comfort to all believers, plainly to be seen, and not to be taken away. God does all wisely and well; but what he does we know not now, it is time enough to know hereafter. God's loving-kindness i precious to the saints. They put themselves under his protection, an then are safe and easy. Gracious souls, though still desiring more of God, never desire more than God. The gifts of Providence so far satisf them, that they are content with such things as they have. The benefi of holy ordinances is sweet to a sanctified soul, and strengthening to the spiritual and Divine life. But full satisfaction is reserved for the future state. Their joys shall be constant. God not only works in them a gracious desire for these pleasures, but by his Spirit fill their souls with joy and peace in believing. He quickens whom he will and whoever will, may come, and take from him of the waters of lif freely. May we know, and love, and uprightly serve the Lord; then n proud enemy, on earth or from hell, shall separate us from his love Faith calleth things that are not, as though they were. It carries u forward to the end of time; it shows us the Lord, on his throne of judgment; the empire of sin fallen to rise no more _________________________________________________
