his holy house

Psalm 93:5 (JDV)

Psalm 93:5 Yahveh, your testimonies are completely reliable; holiness makes your house lovely for all the days to come.

Alexander says that the holiness spoken of here is “sacredness, the immunity from profanation, and of course from violent intrusion” (398).

God’s house is safe from the world’s influence. We should seek to dwell in his house — away from the world — to learn from him, and therefore we will be better able to live in the world as he wishes.
