Psalms 90:1

Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place The Psalmist addresses God not by the covenant Name Jehovah (Lord), but by the title which designates Him as the Ruler of the world. He not merely is, but has proved Himself to be, Israel's home, age after age, in all the vicissitudes of its history. The same word is used in Psalms 91:9. (A.V. habitation), and (in a slightly different form) in Deuteronomy 33:27, to which the Psalmist may be alluding. Some editors would change mâ-ôn, -dwelling-place," into mâ-ôz, -stronghold." In Psalms 71:3 (see note) there has probably been a confusion between these words, but it is unnecessary to alter the text here.

in all generations More forcibly the Heb., in generation and generation, i.e. in each successive generation. So Deuteronomy 32:7 (A.V. many generations).
