EXPLANATION

Verse 5. Tabernacle; in the Catholic Church, so that the enemy can either not find, or at least cannot hurt, my soul. Worthington.—I hope one day to enjoy rest in the temple. Calmet.—The verbs are in the future, in Hebrew both here and in the following verse. But they may be as well explained in the sense of the Vulg. Those who find themselves in danger, must still have recourse to God’s presence, (Bert.) where, as ( Bible.) in the asylum of the tabernacle, ( Menochius.) or of the temple, they will be protected. Calmet.—God rewards those with glory in death, who have suffered for his name. Worthington.
