Clarke's Psalms 147:14 Bible Commentary

He maketh peace - They were now no longer troubled with the Samaritans, Moabites, etc.

Barnes's Psalms 147:14 Bible Commentary

He maketh peace in thy borders - Margin, he maketh thy border peace. The word border here refers to a boundary, and stands for all the domain or territory included within the boundaries of a country. The idea is that peace prevailed throughout the land.

And filleth thee with the finest of the wheat - Margin, as in Hebrew, fat of wheat. Literally, "He satisfies thee with the fat of wheat." There is no want of wheat, and that of the best kind. Compare the notes at Psalm 132:15 : "I will satisfy her poor with bread."

Wesley's Psalms 147:14 Bible Commentary

147:14 Borders - In all thy land, even to its utmost borders.
