Spurgeon (borrowing from Frances Ridley Havergal) suggested four ways the Scripture speaks of the shadow of the Almighty. We must walk very close to a companion, if we would have his shadow fall on us.” (Duncan, cited in Spurgeon)
The shadow of the Almighty: “This is an expression which implies great nearness. “Every child of God looks towards the inner sanctuary and the mercy-seat, yet all do not dwell in the most holy place they run to it at times, and enjoy occasional approaches, but they do not habitually reside in the mysterious presence.” (Spurgeon) It is true that the life of the spirit seems to come more easily for some than for others, but there is an aspect of the secret place of the Most High that is for everyone who puts his trust in Him. Yet David, if he wrote this, was a warrior and man well acquainted with the realities of life. Many seem to regard this as only a thing for mystics or the super-spiritual. There are many followers of Jesus Christ who seem to know very little of the secret place of the Most High or what it is to abide under His shadow. This singer seems to accept that great idea, and then to speak of the most central chamber of the dwelling-place, referring to it as the Secret Place, and describing its complete security.” (Morgan) “Moses spoke of God as the dwelling-place, the habitation, the home of man. The opening lines of Psalm 91 seem to take that idea further. In Psalm 90:1, Moses spoke of God as the dwelling place of His people. Those who dwell there abide under the shadow of the Almighty, knowing His protection, comfort, and care. He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High: God has a secret place for His own (Psalm 27:5, 31:20), and it is a place to live in. I will say of the LORD, “ He is my refuge and my fortress Ī. Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High (1-2) The protection, comfort, and care of Yahweh. It is impossible to imagine anything more solid, more beautiful, more profound, or more ornamented.” (de Muis, cited in Spurgeon) A.
“It is one of the most excellent works of this kind which has ever appeared.
“In the whole collection there is not a more cheering Psalm, its tone is elevated and sustained throughout, faith is at its best, and speaks nobly.” (Charles Spurgeon) Many have noted the wonderful character of this psalm: “This psalm is one of the greatest possessions of the saints.” (G. “Some of its language, of strongholds and shields, reminds us of David, to whom the Septuagint ascribes it other phrases echo the Song of Moses in Deuteronomy 32, as did Psalm 90 but it is in fact anonymous and timeless, perhaps all the more accessible for that.” (Derek Kidner) Because it shares some of the themes and phrases of Psalm 27 and Psalm 31, some think the author was David. Because it shares some of the themes of Psalm 90, some think Moses was the author. This psalm has no title, and therefore the author remains unknown.
