|Background Ideas=<ul><li>In ancient Israel, the king was also the judge who decided cases (2 Sam. 15:2; 1 Kgs 3:16-24).</li> | |||
</li>YHWH is King David's "King" (see v. 3), and his heavenly court is the highest court in the land.</li> | |||
<li>The rising of the morning sun was associated with the enactment of justice, and people would bring their cases before the king in the morning (cf. 2 Sam. 15:2).</li> | |||
<li>God's house was the place of worship and God's immediate presence (cf. Pss. 42-43). To be away from God's house was distressing.</li> | |||
<li>When David was away from the temple, he longed to return (cf. 2 Sam. 15:25; Pss. 27).</li> | |||
<li>Since the temple is YHWH's "house" (v. 8), YHWH is a host to those sojourning in, or traveling to, his house.</li> | |||
<li>In the ancient Near East, hosts were obligated to keep their guests safe from enemies (cf. Ps. 23:5-6).</li></ul> | |||
