Take Zion as a type of Christ's Church in all the ages. It should be a shelter for the poor in the following five senses which may be attached to the word.

I. In the sense of the ignorant.

II. In the sense of the meek.

III. In the sense of the yoking.

IV. In the sense of the persecuted.

V. In the sense of the doubting. Every age is, in one form or another, a troublous age for all earnest souls. The Church is ever the abiding earth-shelter, type and suggestion of that soul-rest in God which the poor - in every sense - may always find. - R.T.

WEB: What will they answer the messengers of the nation? That Yahweh has founded Zion, and in her the afflicted of his people will take refuge.
