35 For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.
35 for God will save Zion and rebuild the cities of Judah. Then people will settle there and possess it;
35 For God will save Zion and build up the cities of Judah, and people shall dwell there and possess it;
35 For God is out to help Zion, Rebuilding the wrecked towns of Judah. Guess who will live there - The proud owners of the land?
35 For God will save Zion And build the cities of Judah, That they may dwell there and possess it.
35 For God will save Jerusalem and rebuild the towns of Judah. His people will live there and settle in their own land.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 69:35
Commentary on Psalm 69:30-36
(Read Psalm 69:30-36)
The psalmist concludes the psalm with holy joy and praise, which he began with complaints of his grief. It is a great comfort to us, that humble and thankful praises are more pleasing to God than the most costly, pompous sacrifices. The humble shall look to him, and be glad; those that seek him through Christ shall live and be comforted. God will do great things for the gospel church, in which let all who wish well to it rejoice. A seed shall serve him on earth, and his servants shall inherit his heavenly kingdom. Those that love his name shall dwell before him for ever. He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Arise, thou great Restorer of the ancient places to dwell in, and turn away ungodliness from thy people.
