Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 87:3

3 Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God . Selah.

O Ierusalem, though thou and thy Temple are yet in some sort in your ruines, and desolate and contemptible not onely to thine enemies, but also in the eyes of thine own People, yet comfort thy self with these great and glorious things foretold concerning thee in the Holy Prophets, as Isa. 62. 1, 7. and 65. 18, &c. and 66. 10, &c. Zech. 1. 14, &c. and 2. 4, 12. and 8. 3, &c. and 12. 2, &c. Among other things, it was [illegible: 1+ letters]oretold that the glory of the latter house should be greater than of the former, Hagg. 2. 9. All which Prophecies are to be understood, as this place also is, of a Spiritual and Evangelical Glory accruing to the Ierusalem, as by the birth and presence of Christ in it, so also by the accession of all People and Nations to it, of which he speaks in the next Verse.
