PSALM XV.

Vers. 1. LOrd, who shall abide in thy Tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?] This Question David propounds to the Lord, that the answer after∣wards added might be received as a divine Oracle of unquestiona∣ble certainty. Some understand it of the qualification of those that present

themselves to serve God in the Tabernacle or Temple: Lord, who shall abide in thy Tabernacle? &c. as if he had said, Many flock thither, but who are they that have a just right to come? or who are they that may expect to have this privi∣ledge continued to them, of resorting to thy house? But more generally it is un∣derstood of the qualification of those that are true members of the Church here, and shall live for ever in heaven hereafter. Some conceive that it is the king∣dome of heaven, that is here called both Gods Tabernacle and holy hill▪ and so make the summe of the whole Question to be this, Who shall dwell with thee for ever in heaven? But because the Tabernacle was more peculiarly a type of the Church militant, and the Temple on the holy hill of Sion a type of the Church triumphant, therefore more commonly Expositours understand this Question thus, Who shall be acknowledged true members of thy Church on earth, and who shall dwell for ever in thy Church triumphant in heaven?

Vers. 3. Nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.] To wit, by raising false reports, or any other way of reproaching them, or by hearkening to others, or en∣during them that doe it. See the Note upon Exod. 2.1.

Vers. 5. He that putteth not out his money to usury, &c.] See the Notes Exod. 22.25, and Deut. 23.19, and under this all other unjust waies of gain are compre∣hended.

He that doeth these things shall not be moved.] That is, He shall never be cast out as an hypocrite: he shall certainly continue a true member of the Church, and shall for ever live in Gods kingdome of glory.
