Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.
Ver. 8. Arise, O Lord, into thy rest] The place of thy rest; for the ark was transportative till settled in Solomon's temple; so, till we come to heaven, we are in continual motion.
Thou, and the ark of thy strength] The ark in the temple was the chiefest evidence of God's presence, and the most principal type of Christ, in whom the fulness of the Godhead dwelleth bodily. The word is aron, which is put for a coffin, coffer, or chest, Gen 50:26 2 Kings 12:9. This showeth, that all the counsels of God, all the love and favour of God, all that God accounteth precious, are treasured up in Christ, Colossians 2:3; Col 1:13 Isaiah 42:1 Hebrews 10:12 .
