Psalms 65:5

"Blessed is the one whom you choose and cause to come near, that he may live in your courts. We will be filled with the goodness of your house, your holy temple."

Key Reflection

This verse speaks of those chosen by God who are brought close to Him, dwelling in His presence and experiencing divine blessings. It reflects a deep sense of intimacy and favor, where believers find themselves filled with the goodness and holiness of God's temple, symbolizing a profound spiritual fulfillment and closeness to their Maker.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us -That is, By things suited to inspire us and all people with awe, or with a deep sense of thy majesty, thy power, and thy glory. The answer to their prayers would be in such a manner as deeply to impress their minds and hearts. God’s judgments on his foes, and the manner of his manifesting his favor to his people, would be such as to impress the mind with a deep sense of his own greatness. Yet all this would be in righteousness; in the infliction of a just sentence on the wicked; in direct interposition in favor of the righteous.
