The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 15:1

Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? rather, Who shall sojourn ? Whom wilt thou accept as a sojourner in thy tent, to be near to thee, and consort with thee? Who shall dwell ( i.e. whom wilt thou permit to dwell) in thy holy hill? The "tabernacle" and the "holy hill" of Zion are, of course, not to be understood literally. They are figurative expressions, pointing to the Divine presence and favour, and the blessedness of abiding in them. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 15:1-2

A standard of integrity. "Lord, who shall abide," etc.? We may truly call this brief psalm a flawless gem of religious ethics, unmatched in all the treasures of heathen literature. It is a sufficient proof that the moral failures which surprise and distress us in many of the Old Testament saints were due to human infirmity—the imperfect character of the men and of the times, not to deficient revelation of truth and duty. Then, as now, men knew more than they practised. What the New... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 15:1-5

The man in undisturbed rest. It matters little when this psalm was written, or by whom. Although there is no reason for denying its Davidic authorship, still its contents are manifestly and equally precious, whoever was the inspired penman, and whenever he penned these words. Manifestly, the psalm is a product of Judaism. £ The Mosaic legislation had its ritual, but it was not ritualistic. There was not only an altar of sacrifice, but also a pillar of testimony and the tables of the Law;... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 15:1-5

A life without reproach. In all ages there has been a sense of imperfection, and a longing and a cry for the perfect in human character. The ethical philosophers of Greece and Rome have given us their views; Christian teachers have aimed to set forth, in poetry and prose, their ideals of perfection; but it may be questioned whether anywhere we can find a truer or more beautiful portrait than this by the ancient Jewish poet. It has been said, "Christian chivalry has not drawn a brighter."... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 15:1-5

The essentials of a spiritual religion. This psalm is supposed by some to have been written on the removal of the ark to Zion. "As it is not only in David's time that the symbol has been placed above the thing signified, and a superstitious efficacy attached to the externals of worship, this psalm has an equal value in every age in keeping before the mind the great lesson that sanctity of life and truth of heart are the absolute essentials of a spiritual religion." How can we dwell truly... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 15:2

He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness . An upright walk is the first requisite (comp. Genesis 17:1 ; Psalms 26:3 , Psalms 26:11 ; Isaiah 33:15 ). Such a walk involves the doing of righteousness, not, of course, in absolute perfection, but with a sincere intention, and so as to have "the answer of a good conscience towards God" ( 1 Peter 3:21 ). And speaketh the truth in his heart. Not " from his heart," as in the Prayer-book Version, which would make the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 15:3

He that backbiteth not with his tongue . Among the negative virtues the first place is given to the observance of the ninth commandment, probably because to err in this respect is so very common a fault (see Jeremiah 6:28 ; Jeremiah 9:4 ; James 3:5-8 ). Nor doeth evil to his neighbour; rather, to his friend , or his companion —a different word from that used at the end of the verse, and implying greater intimacy. There is special wickedness in injuring one with whom we are... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 15:1

Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? - Margin, “sojourn.” The Hebrew word means properly to “sojourn;” that is, to abide in a place as a sojourner or stranger; not permanently, but only for a while. The idea in this place is taken from the word “tabernacle” or “tent,” with which one naturally associates the thought of sojourning, rather than that of a permanent abode. Compare Hebrews 11:9. It should not be inferred, however, that it is meant here that the residence with God would be... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 15:2

He that walketh uprightly - Hebrew, “walking perfectly;” that is, one who walks or lives “perfectly.” The word “walk” in the Scriptures is often used to denote the manner of life; life being represented as a journey. See the note at Psalms 1:1. The word here rendered “uprightly,” or, in the Hebrew, “perfectly,” means that which is complete in all its parts; where no part is missing or is defective. See the word explained in the notes at Job 1:1. The Word is not used in the sense in which it is... read more
