THE MOST HIGH GOD  EL ELYON
  Our God has chosen many ways by which to make Himself known to us, in His various attributes.  He  affixes  different  titles  to denote
different characteristics of His Nature.
  He  was  known to Abraham,  Isaac and Jacob as "The Breasted One".
  The Hebrew word for that is EL SHADDAI, meaning "The Nourisher"
  He revealed Himself to Moses as JEHOVAH,  the Law Giver--the Stern  One--The Inflexible One.
  But the title most of us like the best is EL ELYON, which portrays  His Merciful Nature.  "The God of another chance", has been attributed
 to this Title.  It is in this Title we see the Grace of God.
  Abraham paid his tithes to the Priest of THE MOST  HIGH  GOD. (EL   ELYON).  He knew about the God of Grace--another chance.
  That is why Jesus was made a High Priest, forever, AFTER THE ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEK.  Grace and Truth came by Jesus Christ.
  Almost  every  place  in  both the Old Testament and the New
Testament,  where the term "Most High" or "Highest", is used itindicates that God  is   referring  to  Himself  as  the  God  of  Grace.
  David was aware of this side of God's Nature--Grace through Faith.
  Psa 91 is unique.  "He that dwelleth in the secret  place  of
 The   Most  High (EL ELYON) shall abide under the shadow of The Almighty (EL   SHADDAI) I will say of The Lord (JEHOVAH) He  is  my  refuge  and  my fortress my God; in Him will I trust"
  David  knew God as The God of GRACE (for when he went astray).  He knew Him as the NOURISHER (for when he was in need).  He knew  Him  as the  stern,  inflexible  LAWGIVER--the SHEPHERD who would guide him in the right way (paths of righteousness), defining and circumscribing, without error, the way of truth.
