Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 90:1

1 LORD, thou hast been our dwelling-place in all generations .

Although we and our Fathers for some Generations have had no certain and fixed Habitation, but have been strangers in a land that was not ours, and afflicted for four hundred years, according to thy Prediction, Gen. 15. 13. and although we now are and have been for some time, and still are like to continue in a vast howling Wilderness, having no Houses but dwelling in Tents and wandring from place to place we know not whither; yet thou, O Lord, hast fully supplyed this want, and hast been in stead of, and better than, a dwelling place to us, by thy watchful and gracious Providence over us in all places and exigences. And this is a very proper Preface to this Psalm to intimate that all the following miseries were not to be imputed to God but unto themselves who by their own sins had brought these mischiefs upon themselves.
