Psalms 36:8

“They shall be abundantly sallied with the fatness of thy house, etc.] By his “house” is meant the church of God, of his building, and where he dwells; by the fatness of it the provisions there, the word and ordinances, and the blessings of grace which they hold forth; and especially Christ, the fatted calf, the bread of life, whose flesh is meat indeed, and whose blood is drink indeed, and which make a feast of fat things; and these they that trust in the Lord are welcome to eat and drink of abundantly, and to abundant satisfaction; (see <400506>Matthew 5:6) (<192226>Psalm 22:26); and thou shall make them drink of the river of thy pleasure; the love of God, whose streams make glad the city…”

“fatness--richness. thy house--residence--for the privileges and blessings of communion with God (Psa 23:6; Psa 27:4). river of thy pleasures--plenteous supply; may allude to Eden.”

“They shall be abundantly satisfied - Margin, “watered.” That is, all who thus put their trust in the mercy of God. The Hebrew word - רוה râvâh - means to drink to the full; to be satisfied, or sated with drink; or to be satisfied or filled with water, as the earth or fields after an abundant rain: Isaiah 34:7; Psalms 65:10. The state referred to by the word is that of one who was thirsty, but who has drunk to the full; who feels that his desire is satisfied: (a) He has found that which is adapted to his wants, or which meets his needs, as water does the wants of one who is a thirst; (b) He has found this “in abundance.” There is no lack, and he partakes of it in as large measure as he…”

“Satisfied - Who trust in thee, as he now said. Fatness - With those delightful provisions, which thou hast prepared for them in heaven. The river - Which denotes both their plenty, and their perpetuity. Psalms 36:9”

“abundantly: Psa 16:11, Psa 17:15, Psa 63:5, Psa 65:4; Sol 5:1; Isa 25:6, Isa 55:1, Isa 55:2; Jer 31:12-14; Zac 9:17; Mat 5:6; Joh 7:37 satisfied: Heb. watered, Yirweyun, "they shall be saturated," as a thirsty field by showers from heaven. Isa 58:11 and thou: Psa 16:11, Psa 46:4; Job 20:17; Isa 43:20, Isa 48:21; Rev. 22:1-17 thy pleasures: Or, adanacha, "thy pleasure," as four manuscripts, read; in which there is probably a reference to the garden of Eden, and the river that ran through, and watered it. Psalms 36:9”
