I should think that in context, it's a reference to Mount Zion, a literal place in Israel that became a symbol of God's dwelling in and with His people, and a promise for their future.
But what about today? What application suits the Christian believer?
What does it mean...
...for the Davidic King and Messiah to be set on God's "holy hill"?
...for God to hear us out of His "holy hill"?
...to dwell in God's "holy hill"?
...to ascend God's "holy hill"?
... to be brought to God's "holy hill"?
...to worship at God's "holy hill"?
I'd love to get some insight from you all.
Thanks,

My thoughts include the idea that all of these references refer to the most oft-quoted prophecy in the Old Testament ever noted in the New.
Psalm 110:1.
Psalms 110:1 A Psalm of David. The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
Psalms 110:2 The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.
It is where Jesus sat after His ascension, having made atonement by his work on the cross. That is what the high priest foreshadowed in having passed the veil into the holiest to sprinkle the mercyseat. That mercyseat is the throne of God. The right hand.
Psalm 2 points to this same point in time when Jesus ascended.
One of the most precious sermons the Lord ever gave me is about
Psalm 2 and how it's fulfilled in
Acts 2.
