Church Fathers on Psalms 15:1

A psalm of David himself. 1. Touching this title there is no question. “O Lord who shall sojourn in Your tabernacle?” Psalm 14:1. Although tabernacle be sometimes used even for an everlasting habitation: yet when tabernacle is taken in its proper meaning, it is a thing of war. Hence soldiers are called tent-fellows, as having their tents together. This sense is assisted by the words, “Who shall sojourn?” For we war with the devil for a time, and then we need a tabernacle…
