Commentary
4 notes on this verseThou shalt bring them in - By thy strength and mercy alone shall they get the promised inheritance. And plant them - Give them a fixed habitation in Canaan, after their unsettled wandering life in the wilderness. In the mountain - Meaning Canaan, which was a very mountainous country, Deu 11:11; or probably Mount Zion, on which the temple was built. Where the pure worship of God was established, there the people might expect both rest and safety.

plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance
The word Sanctuary occurs here for the first time in Scripture, ten chapters before God tells Moses to make one at 25:8. Israel is standing on a beach with a wilderness in front of it, and the song is already describing a settled house with God dwelling in it. Planting is a fixed image chosen for people who at this hour own nothing beyond what they carried out of Egypt.
