God is renowned in Judah; in Israel his name is great. His tent is in Salem, his dwelling place in Zion. [Psalm 76:1-2]
Geographically, they are locations in Israel. (Judea is referred to as Judah while Salem, Jerusalem) but let look at the Hebrew meanings of these words:
Judah: worship
Israel: He will rule
Salem: Peace (wholeness)
Zion: guiding pillar
So rewriting the verse we get: God is renowned in worship; in rule his name is great. His tent is in peace and wholeness, his dwelling place in guiding pillar.
May we worship our God, the God who reigns forever, now and forevermore. Amen.
