The sanctuary was the center of worship and a symbol of God's dwelling among His people. The plea for help from the sanctuary implies seeking God's intervention and support in times of need. This reflects the belief that true help and deliverance come from God alone. The sanctuary also represents holiness and purity, indicating that the help provided is righteous and just. In the New Testament, Jesus is seen as the ultimate sanctuary, the presence of God among humanity, fulfilling the role of mediator and intercessor.<p><b>and sustain you from Zion</b><br>Zion is often used in the Bible to refer to Jerusalem, particularly the hill where the temple was built. It symbolizes God's chosen place and His covenant with His people. The request for sustenance from Zion emphasizes reliance on God's provision and strength. Zion is not only a geographical location but also a spiritual symbol of God's kingdom and His eternal promises. In prophetic literature, Zion is depicted as the future seat of God's reign and the gathering place for all nations. This phrase underscores the belief that sustenance and support come from God's established order and His divine plan. In Christian theology, Zion is sometimes seen as a type of the heavenly Jerusalem, where believers will find eternal sustenance and fellowship with God.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a></b><br>Traditionally attributed as the author of this Psalm, David was the second king of Israel, known for his deep relationship with God and his role as a warrior and leader.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/s/sanctuary.htm">Sanctuary</a></b><br>Refers to the holy place where God dwells, often associated with the tabernacle or temple in Jerusalem, symbolizing God's presence and divine assistance.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/z/zion.htm">Zion</a></b><br>A hill in Jerusalem, often used to represent the city itself or the dwelling place of God.
