Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 4. - I will abide in thy tabernacle forever. As the psalmist is in exile, at "the end of the earth" (ver. 2), the literal "tabernacle" cannot be intended. A spiritual abiding in the heavenly dwelling, whereof the tabernacle was a type, must be meant (comp. Psalm 18:11). I will trust in the covert of thy wings (comp. Psalm 17:8; Psalm 36:7; Psalm 57:1; Psalm 63:7; Psalm 91:4). The origin of the metaphor is hardly to be sought in the outspread wings of the cherubim on the mercy seat; rather in the brooding wings of birds protecting and defending their young (Deuteronomy 32:11; Matthew 23:37).

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(4) I will abide.--Rather, Let me be a guest in, etc. (Comp. Psalm 15:1; Psalm 27:4.)Thy tabernacle . . .--It is difficult to decide whether this indicates. the Mosaic tabernacle, and so may be used as an index of the date of the poem; or whether the tent is a general figure for the protection of God, wherever it may be found. It certainly recalls Psalm 23:6.For ever.--Literally, for ages or aeons. For the same plural, see Psalm 145:13.I will trust . . .--Rather, let me find refuge under the shelter of thy wings. (For the image, see Note Psalm 17:8.) . . .
