Psalms 90-91
Chapter 90
Psalm 90
Eternal God and Mortal Man
A prayer of Moses, the man of God.
1 Lord, You have been our refuge[a]
in every generation.(a)
2 Before the mountains were born,
before You gave birth to the earth and the world,
from eternity to eternity, You are God.(b)
3 You return mankind to the dust,
saying, "Return, descendants of Adam."(c)
4 For in Your sight a thousand years
are like yesterday that passes by,
like a few hours of the night.(d)
5 You end their lives;[b] they sleep.(e)
They are like grass that grows in the morning—
6 in the morning it sprouts and grows;
by evening it withers and dries up.(f)
7 For we are consumed by Your anger;
we are terrified by Your wrath.(g)
8 You have set our unjust ways before You,
our secret sins in the light of Your presence.(h)
9 For all our days ebb away under Your wrath;
we end our years like a sigh.(i)
10 Our lives last[c] seventy years
or, if we are strong, eighty years.
Even the best of them are[d] struggle and sorrow;
indeed, they pass quickly and we fly away.(j)
11 Who understands the power of Your anger?
Your wrath matches the fear that is due You.(k)
12 Teach us to number our days carefully
so that we may develop wisdom in our hearts.[e](l)
13
Lord
—how long?
Turn and have compassion on Your servants.(m)
14 Satisfy us in the morning with Your faithful love
so that we may shout with joy and be glad all our days.(n)
15 Make us rejoice for as many days as You have humbled us,
for as many years as we have seen adversity.(o)
16 Let Your work be seen by Your servants,
and Your splendor by their children.(p)
17 Let the favor of the Lord our God be on us;
establish for us the work of our hands—
establish the work of our hands!(q)
Chapter 91
Psalm 91
The Protection of the Most High
1 The one who lives under the protection of the Most High
dwells in the shadow of the Almighty.(a)
2 I will say[a] to the
Lord
, "My refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust."(b)
3 He Himself will deliver you from the hunter's net,(c)
from the destructive plague.
4 He will cover you with His feathers;
you will take refuge under His wings.(d)
His faithfulness will be a protective shield.(e)
5 You will not fear the terror of the night,
the arrow that flies by day,(f)
6 the plague that stalks in darkness,
or the pestilence that ravages at noon.(g)
7 Though a thousand fall at your side
and ten thousand at your right hand,
the pestilence will not reach you.(h)
8 You will only see it with your eyes
and witness the punishment of the wicked.(i)
9 Because you have made the
Lord
—my refuge,(j)
the Most High—your dwelling place,(k)
10 no harm will come to you;
no plague will come near your tent.(l)
11 For He will give His angels orders concerning you,
to protect you in all your ways.(m)
12 They will support you with their hands
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.(n)
13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the young lion and the serpent.(o)
14 Because he is lovingly devoted to Me,
I will deliver him;
I will protect him because he knows My name.(p)
15 When he calls out to Me, I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble.
I will rescue him and give him honor.(q)
16 I will satisfy him with a long life(r)
and show him My salvation.(s)
