Psalm 91:9 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; Explain" Because thou hast made the LORD". LORD is the interpretation of The Tetragramaton YHWH Unpronounceable in Hebrew, meaning; did exist, exists and will exist. KJV interprets YHWH as LORD.all capitolized. So my question is; Who has made the LORD. Help!
I'm glad you asked this question because I understand how confusing that sentence might sound. I hope I make it clear, and I hope it makes you smile at yourself.
It doesn't mean that anyone "made" the Lord like you make a cake, but more like you make a friend.
Does that make sense? Oh, there's that word again.
The use of the word "made" in verse 9 does not imply that the LORD was created, but means that the people being blessed here by the psalmist have chosen the LORD as their own. The words "which is my refuge, even the most High," describe the LORD, so the phrase could be simplified to "Because thou hast made the LORD thy habitation;" .
In Jesus Christ we have obtained such a dwelling place by putting our trust in him according to who he is, his sacrificial death on the cross for our sins , his burial and his rising from the dead.
Satan misapplied some of this psalm during the temptation of Jesus in the wilderness, but Jesus overcame him by the truth of the Word.
Thank you Bendito, Yes I now Agree. After my original post I studied the verse further and came to the same understanding that you have. In a later posting I explained that I now had a clear understanding. May the LORD bless you and keep you and give you peace.Will
Hi . I'm tyron is there perhaps verses in psalms that Connect's with how I call it daily meditation..... For instance if I'm walking home and the road is long ...scripture that i can qoute and feed my soul and spirit... If have I'm willing to receive thanks
The Lord Gods name is I AM that I AM which is translated (i will be what i will be) the Lord God always existed and never stopped existing( Exodus 3:14-15). Jesus Christ is our Lord ( Philippians 2:11). The holy spirit reveals who the Father and the son are ( 1 Corinthians 12:3). There are 3 that bear witness in heaven and all are one( 1 John 5:7). These verses should sum it up pretty well:
Isaiah 9:6
6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Jesus Christ is the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
John 1:1-18
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
It doesn't mean that anyone "made" the Lord like you make a cake, but more like you make a friend.

Smiles and love!

There is an excellent explanation from Christianity today dot com.
It was thought Moses was the Author and David included it in his assembly of the Records he compiled in a book.
The Psalm doesn't show the Authors name; as many writings don't.
Archaeologists found the scrolls of all the Psalms; so they are most certainly authentic.
