Verse 13. The upright shall dwell in thy presence. "Sit in thy presence", as thy friends or guests or favoured servants. Perhaps it may mean sit (enthroned) before thee. Compare Matthew 19:28 . Some understand the sense to be shall dwell (in the land) before thee, i.e., under thy protection and inspection. --Joseph Addison Alexander.

Verse 13. One of the noblest forms of praise, -- dwelling in the presence of God. Or, reverent regard to God's presence, holy communion with the Lord, confiding rest in God's dealings, obedient doing of the heavenly will -- the best way of giving thanks to God.

Verse 13. Two assertions beyond contradiction.
