Psalm 15
1. David describes a citizen of Zion














(1) Abide . . . dwell.--Properly, as in margin, sojourn like a passing guest, and dwell like a resident. But here the two terms are apparently used as synonyms. It was the natural form in which to put the question at Jerusalem, where God had His abode in the Temple, and we may paraphrase it thus: "What constitutes a true and genuine citizen of the kingdom of God?" The form of Wordsworth's poem, "Who is the happy warrior? who is he," &c, was possibly suggested by the Psalm, and it may be read with advantage by the side of it.

Verse 1. - Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? rather, Who shall sojourn? Whom wilt thou accept as a sojourner in thy tent, to be near to thee, and consort with thee? Who shall dwell (i.e. whom wilt thou permit to dwell) in thy holy hill? The "tabernacle" and the "holy hill" of Zion are, of course, not to be understood literally. They are figurative expressions, pointing to the Divine presence and favour, and the blessedness of abiding in them.
