This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
As the concealing One, God is called עֶלְיֹון, the inaccessibly high One; and as the shadowing One שַׁדַּי, the invincibly almighty One. Faith, however, calls Him by His covenant name (Heilsname) יהוה and, with the suffix of appropriation, אֱלֹהַי (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 אֹמַר לה is more natural, since the language of address follows in both halves of the verse.
