Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 5. - A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God. A defender, i.e., of the oppressed and downtrodden (comp. Isaiah 1:17). In his holy habitation. The heavenly and not the earthly dwelling place - whether tabernacle or temple - seems to be intended. God from his holy seat in the highest heaven pours clown his grace and mercy, his defence and protection, on all those who specially need his aid.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(5) The LXX. and Vulg. prefix to this verse, "They shall be troubled by the face of Him who is," &c, which seems to indicate that the abrupt introduction of this description of God is due to some loss in the text.A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows.--These epithets of God seem to have become at a very early period almost proverbial.
