PSALM 15

WHO SHALL DWELL ON YOUR HOLY HILL?

David desires closeness with God, wanting to dwell inside His tent. David knows that he must live blamelessly and speak in truth for this to happen. Unfortunately, David does not live a blameless life, and God appoints his son Solomon to build the temple instead of David (1 Chronicles 17-22).

The theme of dwelling with God continues in the last verse of Psalm 23, where David says that God’s goodness and mercy will follow him all the days of his life and that he will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. 

Psalm 15:1 - O Lord, who shall sojourn in your tent? Who shall dwell on your holy hill?
