4. I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever. Let me
once get back to thy courts, and nothing shall again expel me from them: even
now in my banishment my heart is there; and ever will I continue to worship
thee in spirit wherever my lot may be cast. Perhaps by the word tabernacle
is here meant the dwelling-place of God; and if so, the sense is, I will dwell
with the Lord, enjoying his sacred hospitality, and sure protection. Whoever
communes with God is always at home. The divine omnipresence surrounds such a
person consciously; his faith sees all around him the palace of the King, in
which he walks with exulting security and overflowing delight. The best of all
is that our residence with God is not for a limited period of time, but for
ages; for time and for eternity: I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever.
