He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
The first verse states two distinct truths, not one repeated twice as some wrongly suppose. He who dwells in God's secret place and abides under His shadow, these are two separate ideas working together, each adding weight to the promise of safety.

Commenting on Psalm 91:1-16
These blessings belong only to those who dwell habitually in God's presence, not to those who merely visit now and then. The courtiers of the Great King, those who live as Christ lives, alone know what it means to sit in that august chamber where the Shekinah shines.
AI summary
The believer's home is in God; he sits down and reposes in Him as his rest, making heart-work of worship and loving solitude with his God. So dwelling, he abides under the shadow of the Almighty, a shelter that comes between him and every annoyance, a refuge that will never fail.
