Ye that stand in the house of the Lord, etc.] That have a place and standing there, and go not out, being sons as well as servants; (see Gill on “<19D401>Psalm 134:1”) and (see Gill on “<198404>Psalm 84:4”); in the courts of the house of our God; alluding to the courts in the temple, the court of the priests, where they stood and ministered, slaying and offering their sacrifices; and the great court, where all the Israelites stood and worshipped, (<140409>2 Chronicles 4:9). So this may describe the worshippers of God in common, who should praise him: and happy are they that have a place here; (see <198401>Psalm 84:1,2,10).
