dwelleth

Abides in place

Dwelleth is an archaic third-person singular form of dwell, meaning to live or reside somewhere.

The -eth ending was standard in Early Modern English for verbs with he, she, or it subjects.

The form survives almost exclusively in biblical and liturgical contexts: He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High.
