Salmos 91:1

1. Dwelleth Sitteth, or waiteth.

Secret place The allusion is to the holy of holies in the tabernacle.

Shadow of the Almighty Referring to the wings of the cherubim that “shadowed the mercy seat.” See Exodus 25:18-20; Hebrews 9:5. But this could be taken only in the spiritual sense, as in Matthew 6:6; Hebrews 10:19-22. To abide under the shadow of the Almighty is to abide under his immediate protection. The “secret place” is also an oriental phrase for the interior room or rooms of the house or tent, reserved for the master or chief. See on Psalms 27:5; Psalms 31:20; Psalms 61:4
