This psalm concerning the dwelling place in God's tent opens with the question who shall sojourn in Your tent and dwell on Your holy hill? establishing access to God's sanctuary as the supreme good. The tent and holy hill suggest the temple location and the sacred precinct where God dwells. The question presupposes that access to God's presence is restricted and available only to those meeting certain criteria. This opening establishes that the psalm will delineate the spiritual and moral qualifications for approaching God.
