Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 7. - For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling place. This and the preceding verso occur also, almost word for word, in Jeremiah 10:25. It is difficult to say which writer has quoted from the other.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(7) Dwelling place.--Literally, pasture, as in Jeremiah 23:3; Jeremiah 49:20; Jeremiah 1:19. The figure is a favourite one in the Asaphic group of psalms.Former iniquities.--Better, iniquities of former ones, i.e., of ancestors. (Comp. Leviticus 26:45, "covenant of their ancestors," and for the thought Exodus 20:5; Leviticus 26:39.) . . .
