Psalm 91:1a "He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High..."
Day 13 – Psalm 91
“He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High…” Psalm 91:1a
AN UNKNOWN AUTHOR
There are some psalms whose authors are unknown to us. Psalms 1 and 2 were written by unknown authors. (However, in Acts 4:25, the apostle Peter made reference to David as the author of Psalm 2.) The authors would most likely be known to the compilers of the psalms. However, along the way it is possible, in the transmission of the written texts, the names of some of the authors somehow went missing. It is important to note that the loss of the names of the authors does not detract from the significance of the contents of the psalms. (Psalms 91-100 is a cluster where the authors are unnamed.)
GOD AS OUR DWELLING PLACE
Moses wrote of God as the dwelling place of Israel (Psalm 90:1). Psalm 91 expands the thought of God as our dwelling place.
“He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.”
Psalm 91:1
