Psalms 84:5

Verse Psalms 84:5. The man whose strength is in thee]

"Who life and strength from thee derives;

And by thee moves and in thee lives."

In whose heart are the ways of them] This is no sense. The original, however, is obscure: מסלות בלבבם mesilloth bilebabam, "the high ways are in their hearts;" that is, the roads winding to thy temple. Perhaps there is a reference here to the high roads leading to the cities of refuge. We wish to escape from the hands and dominion of these murderers, and the roads that lead to Jerusalem and the temple we think on with delight; our hearts are with them, we long to be travelling on them.
