Psalms 135:2
who stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God.
BSB
ASV
Ye that stand in the house of Jehovah, In the courts of the house of our God.
KJV
Ye that stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God,
Ye that stand in the house of the Lord,.... That have a place and standing there, and go not out, being sons as well as servants; See Gill on Psa 134:1 and See Gill on Psa 84:4; in the courts of the house of our God; alluding to the courts in the temple, the court of the priests, where they stood and ministered, slaying and offering their sacrifices; and the great court, where all the Israelites stood and worshipped, 2Ch 4:
Ye that stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God. You are highly favoured; you are the domestics of the palace, nearest to the Father of the heavenly family, privileged to find your home in his house; therefore you must, beyond all others, abound in thanksgiving. You "stand; "or abide in the temple; you are constant occupants of its various courts; and therefore from you we expect unceasing praise. Should not ministers be celebrated for celebrating the praises of Jehovah?
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
