God is Our True Home
Commentators explain that "dwelling-place" signifies God as our spiritual home. While we may feel like wanderers in this world, God Himself is our place of ultimate security, rest, comfort, and peace. Just as a physical home provides refuge from danger and toil, God is the soul's true abode where we can feel safe and at ease.
