Salmos 90:1 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 90:1

Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations,
&c.] Even when they had no certain dwelling place in the world; so their ancestors, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, dwelt in tabernacles in the land of promise, as in a strange land; and their posterity for many years served under great affliction and oppression in a land that was not theirs; and now they were dwelling in tents in the wilderness, and removing from place to place; but as the Lord had been in every age, so he now was the dwelling place of those that trusted in him; being that to them as an habitation is to man, in whom they had provision, protection, rest, and safety; see ( Psalms 31:2 ) ( 71:3 ) so all that believe in Christ dwell in him, and he in them, ( John 6:56 ) , they dwelt secretly in him before they believed; so they dwelt in his heart's love, in his arms, in him as their head in election, and as their representative in the covenant of grace from eternity; and, when they fell in Adam, they were preserved in Christ, dwelling in him; and so they were in him when on the cross, in the grave, and now in heaven; for they are said to be crucified, buried, and risen with him, and set down in heavenly places in him, ( Galatians 2:20 ) ( Colossians 2:12 ) ( 3:1 ) ( Ephesians 2:6 ) , and, being converted, they have an open dwelling in him by faith, to whom they have fled for refuge, and in whom they dwell safely, quietly, comfortably, pleasantly, and shall never be turned out: here they have room, plenty of provisions, rest, and peace, and security from all evils; he is an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the storm. Some render the word "refuge";

FOOTNOTES:

F1 such is Christ to his people, being the antitype of the cities of refuge; and others "helper", as the Targum; which also well agrees with him, on whom their help is laid, and is found.

(Salmos 90–106)
Salmo 90
Oración de Moisés, hombre de Dios.
Señor, a lo largo de todas las generaciones,
¡tú has sido nuestro hogar!

2 Antes de que nacieran las montañas,
antes de que dieras vida a la tierra y al mundo,
desde el principio y hasta el fin, tú eres Dios.

3 Haces que la gente vuelva al polvo con solo decir:
«¡Vuelvan al polvo, ustedes, mortales!».

4 Para ti, mil años son como un día pasajero,
tan breves como unas horas de la noche.

5 Arrasas a las personas como si fueran sueños que desaparecen.
Son como la hierba que brota en la mañana.
