This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.
This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.

This is my resting place for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.
This is my rest for ever - Here the Christian Church is most indubitably meant. This is God's place for ever. After this there never will be another dispensation; Christianity closes and completes all communications from heaven to earth. God has nothing greater to give to mankind on this side heaven; nor does man need any thing better; nor is his nature capable of any thing more excellent.
This is my rest for ever - My home; my permanent abode. I will no more remove from place to place - as when the ark was carried in the wilderness, and as it has been since; but Zion shall now be the fixed seat of religion. See the notes at Psalm 68:16.
Here will I dwell ... - Permanently; constantly.
