Glorious things The phrase "glorious things" in Hebrew is "נִכְבָּדוֹת" (nikbadot), which stems from the root "כָּבוֹד" (kavod), meaning "glory" or "honor." This word is often used in the Old Testament to describe the weighty presence and majesty of God. In the context of Psalm 87, it signifies the divine splendor and the magnificent attributes that are associated with the city of God. Historically, Jerusalem was seen as the epicenter of God's presence on earth, and thus, the "glorious things" refer to the divine favor, the prophetic promises, and the spiritual significance that God has bestowed upon the city. This phrase invites believers to reflect on the spiritual blessings and the eternal promises that God has in store for His people. are ascribed to you O city of God Parallel Commentaries ...
