Psalms 26:8 - Exposition

Lord, I have loved the habitation of thy house ; i.e. "the home that thy house affords me." It has been my delight to remain there, to pass long hours there, as it were to dwell there (comp. Psalms 23:6 ; Psalms 27:4 ; Psalms 63:2 ). And the place where thine honour dwelleth; literally, the place of the tabernacling of thy glory —the place where thy glory—the Shechinah —is enshrined and abides.
