Psalm 90:1-91:16
1A prayer of Moses the man of God. O Lord, you have been our habitation from generation to generation. 2Before the mountains were brought forth, before you brought forth the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God. 3You turn man back to dust and say, Return, O sons of man. 4For a thousand years in your eyes are like yesterday when it passes, and a watch in the night. 5You flood them away; they become sleep; in the morning like grass that passes away. 6In the morning it blossoms and passes away; in the evening it is cut down and withers. 7For we are finished by your anger, and by your wrath we are dismayed. 8You have set our iniquities before you, our hidden sins in the light of your face. 9For all our days turn away in your fury; we finish our years like a moan. 10The days of our years are seventy years, and if by strength eighty years, yet their pride is trouble and sorrow, for it is quickly cut off and we fly away. 11Who knows the strength of your anger and your fury according to your fear? 12So teach us to number our days that we may come to a heart of wisdom. 13Return, O LORD! How long? And have compassion upon your servants. 14Satisfy us in the morning with your kindness, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days. 15Make us glad according to the days you have afflicted us, according to the years we have seen distress. 16Let your work be seen upon your servants, and your glory upon their sons. 17And let the pleasantness of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands upon us; yes, establish the work of our hands.
Chapter 91
1He who dwells in the secrecy of the Most High will lodge in the shadow of the Almighty. 2I say to the LORD, My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust. 3For he will rescue you from the snare of the fowler, from the pestilence of desires. 4With his pinion he will cover you, and under his wings you will seek refuge; his truth is a shield and buckler. 5You will not fear the dread of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day. 6Nor the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor the destruction that wastes at midday. 7A thousand will fall at your side, and a myriad at your right, but it will not approach you. 8Only with your eyes will you look and see the recompense of the wicked. 9For you, O LORD, are my refuge; you have made the Most High your habitation. 10No distress will befall you, and no plague will come near your tent. 11For he will command his angels concerning you to keep you in all your ways. 12On their palms they will lift you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone. 13Upon the lion and the cobra you will tread; you will trample the young lion and the dragon. 14Because he has clung to me, I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he knows my name. 15He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in distress; I will rescue him and honor him. 16With length of days I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.
