Symmachus, “the palace.” (Calmet) — Hebrew, “the dwelling.” The psalmist desires to imitate those fervent Levites, who chose always to attend the tabernacle, Deuteronomy xviii. 6.

(Berthier) — No one who reflects on the blessings dispensed in God’s house, can fail to be struck with admiration. (Worthington)
