The words describe the case of those which the Lord has redeemed from the bondage of Satan, who pass through the world as a dangerous and dreary wilderness, often ready to faint from trouble, fear and temptation. Those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for God and for fellowship with him, will be filled with the blessings of his house, in grace and in glory.
