For the bold texts below, I insert what the Interlinear reflects, instead of their English renderings. The NKJV English translations, to which we are accustomed, are "rooms" in Psalm 91 and "dwelling place" in John 14:2. Looking at the Interlinear definitions side-by-side, one sees that the imagery could easily fit as "room" for both Scripture verses.
The OT passage shows that the Lord Almighty provides a room for his faithful during their earthly passage--as they anticipate the rooms promised for us in Glory, in the NT verse.
