Keil & Delitzsch, on Ps 90:1

Keil & Delitzsch · 1861–1875
Ps 90:1 · Douay-Rheims
“The praise of a canticle for David. He that dwelleth in the aid of the most High, shall abide under the protection of the God of Jacob.”
On this verse:
“As the concealing One, God is called עליון, the inaccessibly high One; and as the shadowing One שׁדּי, the invincibly almighty One. Faith, however, calls Him by His covenant name (Heilsname) יהוה and, with the suffix of appropriation, אלהי (my God). In connection with Psa 91:1 we are reminded of the expressions of the Book of Job, Job 39:28, concerning the eagle's building its nest in its eyrie. According to the accentuation, Psa 91:2 ought to be rendered with Geier, "Dicit: in Domino meo (or Domini) latibulum, etc." But the combination אמר לה is more natural, since the language of address follows in both halves of the verse.”
