This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Psa_26:8 LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.
Ver. 8. Lord, I have loved the habitation of thy house] Much more the people, and the ordinances there, but most of all the Lord himself of that house (as if a man love the schoolmaster for his child’s sake he loveth his child much more), and hence it is that I so hate the society of the ungodly; for what communication hath Christ with Belial? The word rendered habitation some derive from a word that signifieth the eye, and, therefore, render it sight, or beauty; the Seventy åõðñåðåéáí , comeliness. The Protestants at Lyons, in France, called their public meeting place paradise.
And the place where thine honour dwelleth] i.e. Where thou thyself dwellest, or thine ark, which is called God’s glory, 1Sa_4:21 Psa_78:61, yea, God’s self, Psa_132:5, and God’s face, Psa_105:4.
