📚 Historical Context

This psalm is attributed to Moses, making it one of the oldest psalms in the collection. It was likely written during Israel's 40-year wilderness wandering, when the people had no permanent physical home but found their security in God. The concept of God as a 'dwelling place' would have been especially meaningful to a nomadic people who lived in temporary tents.
