Only one of the 150 Psalms is written by Moses (Psalm 90), and it begins with this verse:

“Lord, you have been our dwelling place in all generations.”

Moses lived a long life in many places, starting in Egypt, fleeing to Midian, returning to Egypt, then leading the exodus from Egypt, and spending 40 years wandering the wilderness on the Sinai Peninsula.  However, Moses died without entering the Promised Land of Canaan.

Moses had many earthly dwelling places yet was never home.  He tells us in Psalm 90:1, “Lord, you have been our dwelling place in all generations.”  Why?  Moses knows that the only true dwelling place of God’s people is with the Lord Himself. 

As long as we are on this earth, we are “sojourners and exiles”[1] Only in the next world are we, and His people “in all generations,” from Adam to Moses to now and into the future, finally home with Him.
