The Lord Will

Psalm 90:1

β€œLord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.”

KJV

Read in Psalm 90

Meaning

Within β€œGod our eternal dwelling,” verse 1 confesses that the Lord has been the community's dwelling place across every generation; this detail advances the unit's argument and should not be detached from the whole psalm.

Read carefully

Read Psalm 90:1 inside its literary unit and the movement of Psalm 90; its imagery and claims are constrained by that context.

Reflection

Respond to the verse's specific emphasis β€” confesses that the Lord has been the community's dwelling place across every generation β€” while reading it together with the surrounding lines of Psalm 90.
