Why leap ye, ye high hills? this is the hill which God desireth to dwell in; yea, the LORD will dwell in it for ever.
In its original setting the verse is David's expression of thankfulness for deliverance from trials. That thankfulness was typical of the greater David whose Spirit inspired the psalmist. The whole psalm to which the verse belongs, including this verse itself, is therefore a paean of victory prophesying Christ in His triumph.
The verse belongs to a latter-day prophecy that applies especially to the remnant church in the closing work of the third angel's message. That prophecy is to be fulfilled at the time of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in the latter rain.
