Psalms 61:4

I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever ,.... Under the protection of the Lord, as in a shepherd's tent, or as in one belonging to a general of an army, where are fulness and safety; See Gill on Psalm 27:5 ; or else the tabernacle of the congregation is meant; the house of God, the place of divine and public worship, where he desired and determined always to continue, Psalm 23:6 ; or else the tabernacle which was prefigured by that below, where he knew he should dwell to all eternity. Kimchi, by "for ever", understands a long time; and Jarchi explains it both of this world and of the world to come; which is true, understanding the tabernacle of the church below, and the church above;

I will trust in the covert of thy wings . Or, "in" or "into the secret of thy wings" F26 בסתר "in abscondito", Pagninus, Montanus; "in occultum", Junius & Tremellius. ; this he determined to make his refuge for the present time, and while in this world; See Gill on Psalm 57:1 .

Selah ; on this word; see Gill on Psalm 3:2 .
