ἡ γλῶσσά μου. The Hebrew = my glory. For this exposition of glory, cf. Psalms 108:1, where the A.V. has, according to the Hebrew, I will give praise even with my glory,’ while the Prayer-Book Version renders ‘with the best member that I have.’ If however we are to be guided by the Hebrew parallelism ‘the glory’ is the soul or life. Cf. Psalms 7:5, ‘Let him tread my life upon the earth, and lay my glory (A.V. honour) in the dust.’ On the use of a similar expression by the Arabs for any member of the body of special honour, see Gesenius s. v. כבוד.

κατασκηνώσει. Lit. shall tabernacle.
