Context of Psalms 78:60
58For they provoked Him to [righteous] anger with their high places [devoted to idol worship] And moved Him to jealousy with their carved images [by denying Him the love, worship, and obedience that is rightfully and uniquely His]. 59When God heard this, He was filled with [righteous] wrath; And utterly rejected Israel, [greatly hating her ways], So that He abandoned the tabernacle at Shiloh, The tent in which He had dwelled among men, 61And gave up His strength and power (the ark of the covenant) into captivity, And His glory into the hand of the enemy (the Philistines). 62He also handed His people over to the sword, And was infuriated with His inheritance (Israel).

- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 60He forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh - The Lord, offended with the people, and principally with the priests, who had profaned his holy worship, gave up his ark into the hands of the Philistines.

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 60So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh - The tabernacle or tent which had been erected at Shiloh.

The name Shiloh means properly a place of rest, and seems to have been given to this place as such a place, or as a place where the ark might abide after its…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 56-72Verses 56-72 After the Israelites were settled in Canaan, the children were like their fathers. God gave them his testimonies, but they turned back.
