Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 78:69

His sanctuary; the temple of Solomon. High palaces; magnificent and glorious. Established for ever; not now to be removed from place to place, as the tabernacle was, but as a fixed place for the ark’s perpetual residence, unless the people by their apostasy should cause its removal. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Psalms 78:1-72

INTRODUCTIONSuperscription,—“Maschil of Asaph,” i.e., an instruction of Asaph, a didactic song by Asaph.

Psalms 78:69He built His sanctuary like high palaces, like the earth which He hath established for ever. The Gospel palaces“He built His sanctuary like high palaces”; look through this very country, compare its palaces with its cathedrals and churches, even in their present state of disadvantage, and say whether these words are not more than accomplished; so that the palaces of England should rather, by way of honour, be compared to the cathedrals, than the cathedrals to the palaces. And... read more

Psa 78:68 But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved. Ver. 68. But chose the tribe of Judah ] He chose it for his love, and then loved it for his choice.
