The Pulpit Commentary on Psalms 91:9

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

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.

The second speaker for a second time addresses the first.
