A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, [is] God in his holy habitation.
Ver. 5. A father of the fatherless, &c.] Pupillorum pater, et viduarum vindex, a title that God much glorieth in; and although he rideth upon the heavens, and is higher than the highest, yet so low stoopeth he to our meanness; neither will he leave his people orphans or comfortless, John 14:18, for
God is in his holy habitation] Not in heaven only, but in and with his Church on earth; the ark and mercy seat were never sundered.
