Charles Ellicott Commentary Psalms 61:4

"I will dwell in thy tabernacle for ever: I will take refuge in the covert of thy wings. Selah" — Psalms 61:4 (ASV)

I will abide. —Rather, Let me be a guest in, etc. (Psalms 27:4).

Your tabernacle ... —It is difficult to decide whether this indicates the Mosaic tabernacle, and so may be used as an index of the date of the poem; or whether the tent is a general figure for the protection of God, wherever it may be found. It certainly recalls Psalm 23:6.

For ever. —Literally, for ages or æons. For the same plural, see Psalm 145:13.

I will trust ... —Rather, let me find refuge under the shelter of your wings. (For the image, see Note Psalm 17:8).
