Psalms138:2

Thy holy temple. This Psalm is entitled "a Psalm of David", and Calvin considers him to be its author agreeably to the title; but the mention of "the temple" in this verse seems to render such an opinion doubtful. If, however, we translate this word by "mansion", which is the proper rendering of the original —the mansion of thy sanctity, —this objection to its composition by David falls to the ground. —James Anderson's Note to Calvin in loc.
