Moshe Rabeinus Tehilim

Moshe composed 11 of the chapters of Tehilim , from 90 to 100. Thus by studying these chapters carefully we can gain insights into how Moshe thought & succeeded.
For example , he says
You Hashem have been our dwellling in every generation.
Whether Moshe was in
Paarohs palace ,
The fields of Midian ,
Yisro s house ,
In his tent in the Midbar - he realized he was actually in Hashems dwelling !!
