1, 2. Our feet shall stand—literally, "are standing."
2. gates—(Compare Ps 9:14; 87:2).
3-5. compact together—all parts united, as in David's time.
4. testimony—If "unto" is supplied, this may denote the ark (Ex 25:10-21); otherwise the act of going is denoted, called a testimony in allusion to the requisition (De 16:16), with which it was a compliance.
5. there are set thrones—or, "do sit, thrones," used for the occupants, David's sons (2Sa 8:18).
6, 7. Let peace—including prosperity, everywhere prevail.
8, 9. In the welfare of the city, as its civil, and especially the religious relations, was involved that of Israel.
