Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 5. This and that man was born in her ] It will be an honour to any person to have been born in Zion. But how great is the honour to be born from above, and be a citizen of the Jerusalem that is from above! To be children of God, by faith in Christ Jesus! The Targum has, "David the king, and Solomon his son, were brought up here." The Highest himself shall establish her. - The Christian Church is built on the foundation of the prophets and apostles; Jesus Christ himself being the Cornerstone.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 4-7 - The church of Christ is more glorious and excellent than the nations of the earth. In the records of heaven, the meanest of those who are bor again stand registered. When God renders to every man according to his works, he shall observe who enjoyed the privileges of his sanctuary. To them much was given, and of them much will be required. Let those tha dwell in Zion, mark this, and live up to their profession. Zion's song shall be sung with joy and triumph. The springs of the joy of a carna worldling are in wealth and pleasure; but of a gracious soul, in the word of God and prayer. All grace and consolation are derived from Christ, through his ordinances, to the souls of believers _________________________________________________
