Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 15:1

1. LORD , who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill ?

O thou who art the soveraign Lord of this holy Hill and Tabernacle, to whom it belongs to give Laws to it, and to admit or reject Persons, as thou seest fit, I beg of thee the resolution of this important question. And he proposeth this question to God that the Answer coming from him, may have the greater Authority and influence upon mens Consciences.

Heb. sojourn, to wit, so as to dwell, as it is explained in the next clause. Unless this clause be meant of sojourning in the Church here, and the next of dwelling in Heaven hereafter. Who shall enter thither and abide there, with thy good leave and liking.

(i. e.)▪ In thy Church, either 1. Militant. Who is a true and will be a persevering Member of this Church? Or, 2. Triumphant, or in Heaven; which is called the true Tabernacle not made with mans [illegible: 1+ letters]ands▪ Heb. 8. 2. and 9. 11. Revel. 21. 3.

To wit, of Zion, so called Psal 2. 6. which is oft put for the Church and for Heaven. Who shall so dwell in thy Church here, as to dwell with thee for ever hereafter in Heaven.
