Psalms 84:2

2. longeth—most intensely (Ge 31:30; Ps 17:12).

fainteth—exhausted with desire.

courts—as tabernacles (Ps 84:1) —the whole building.

crieth out—literally, "sings for joy"; but here, and La 2:19, expresses an act of sorrow as the corresponding noun (Ps 17:1; 61:2).

heart and . . . flesh—as in Ps 63:1.

81-83. In sorrow the pious heart yearns for the comforts of God's promises (Ps 73:26; 84:2).
