Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 9. - Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my Refuge, even the Most High, thy Habitation; literally, for thou, O Lord, art my Refuge; thou hast made the Most High thy Dwelling place, which can scarcely be made to yield a tolerable sense. It is supposed that a word - אָמַרְתָּ- has dropped out, and that the verse originally ran thus: "Because thou hast said, Jehovah is my Refuge, and hast made the Most High thy Dwelling place" (comp. vers. l, 2). The second speaker for a second time addresses the first.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(9) Thou . . . my.--The difficulty of the change of person is avoided by the Authorised Version, but only with violence to the text, which runs, "For thou, Jehovah, my refuge; thou hast made the Most High thy habitation." It is best to take the first line as a kind of under-soliloquy. The poet is assuring himself of the protection which will be afforded one who trusts in God; and he interrupts his soliloquy, as it were, with a comment upon it: "Yes, this is true of myself, for Thou Jehovah art indeed my refuge." (For the Most High as a dwelling place, see Psalm 90:1.)
