Title: Was Jeremiah Referring to Psalms?
Post by: OsoWeakbutHeIsStrong on March 16, 2023, 07:06:23 PM

Reading in Lamentations today, I saw this verse:

The breath of our nostrils, the anointed of the LORD, was taken in their pits, of whom we said, Under his shadow we shall live among the heathen.
Lamentations 4:20

It just made me wonder if Jeremiah was referring to Psalm 91 when he was reflecting, "...of whom we said"

Here's the verse in Psalm 91 that made me think that:

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
Psalm 91:1

If he's not referring to Psalm 91, does anyone have more of an understanding of this passage (Lam 4:20)?

If Jeremiah is referring to Psalm 91, it's really cool to see how the Bible unfolds and it just makes it more alive to me.  It paints a broader picture when I see instances like Jesus talking about Jonah, Paul quoting from the OT, Jesus pointing back to Isaiah (pointing out prophesy of Himself) and Jeremiah possibly referring to Psalm 91.

This morning I just saw another Psalm that Jeremiah could be referring to! 

Psalm 36

How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.
Psalm 36:7
