Salmi 61:4 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 61:4

I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever
Under the protection of the Lord, as in a shepherd's tent, or as in one belonging to a general of an army, where are fulness and safety; (See Gill on Psalms 27:5); or else the tabernacle of the congregation is meant; the house of God, the place of divine and public worship, where he desired and determined always to continue, ( Psalms 23:6 ) ; or else the tabernacle which was prefigured by that below, where he knew he should dwell to all eternity. Kimchi, by "for ever", understands a long time; and Jarchi explains it both of this world and of the world to come; which is true, understanding the tabernacle of the church below, and the church above;

I will trust in the covert of thy wings.
Or, "in" or "into the secret of thy wings" ^F26; this he determined to make his refuge for the present time, and while in this world; (See Gill on Psalms 57:1).

Selah; on this word, (See Gill on Psalms 3:2).

Salmi 61:4 In-Context

2 Dall’estremità della terra io grido a te, con cuore abbattuto; conducimi alla ròcca ch’è troppo alta per me;

3 poiché tu mi sei stato un rifugio, una forte torre dinanzi al nemico.

4 Io dimorerò nel tuo tabernacolo per sempre, mi riparerò all’ombra delle tue ali. Sela.

5 Poiché tu, o Dio, hai esaudito i miei voti, m’hai dato l’eredità di quelli che temono il tuo nome.

6 Aggiungi dei giorni ai giorni del re, siano i suoi anni come molte età!
