Concerning the particular house of God, which is here in this Psalm mentioned, it can hardly be determined for certain which it should be, because the Author, and Time of penning this Psalm are not expressed. If the Psalm were penned by any Prophet after Davids time, then questionless he meaneth the Temple. If David (as it is most probable) were the penman of it, then can it not be meant of the Temple, which was not then built: but rather of the Tabernacle.

But hence ariseth another doubt. In Davids time there were two sacred Tabernacles. pOne made by Moses, called the Tabernacle of the Lord, which was in the high place at Gibeon. qThe other made by David for the Ark of God. rIn both these Tabernacles there were Ministers appointed to perform daily services to the Lord. Which then of these Tabernacles is here meant?
