90:1 A Prayer of Moses, the man of God. LORD, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.
90:2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting thou art God.
90:3 Thou turnest man back to the dust, and sayest, "Turn back, O children of men!"
90:4 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, or as a watch in the night.
90:5 Thou dost sweep men away; they are like a dream, like grass which is renewed in the morning:
90:6 in the morning it flourishes and is renewed; in the evening it fades and withers.
90:7 For we are consumed by thy anger; by thy wrath we are overwhelmed.
90:8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.
90:9 For all our days pass away under thy wrath, our years come to an end like a sigh.
90:10 The years of our life are threescore and ten, or even by reason of strength fourscore; yet their span is but toil and trouble; they are soon gone, and we fly away.
90:11 Who considers the power of thy anger, and thy wrath according to the fear of thee?
90:12 So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.
90:13 Return, O LORD! How long? Have pity on thy servants!
90:14 Satisfy us in the morning with thy steadfast love, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
90:15 Make us glad as many days as thou hast afflicted us, and as many years as we have seen evil.
90:16 Let thy work be manifest to thy servants, and thy glorious power to their children.
90:17 Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish thou the work of our hands upon us, yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.
91:1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High, who abides in the shadow of the Almighty,
91:2 will say to the LORD, "My refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust."
91:3 For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence;
91:4 he will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
91:5 You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day,
91:6 nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.
91:7 A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you.
91:8 You will only look with your eyes and see the recompense of the wicked.
91:9 Because you have made the LORD your refuge, the Most High your habitation,
91:10 no evil shall befall you, no scourge come near your tent.
91:11 For he will give his angels charge of you to guard you in all your ways.
91:12 On their hands they will bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone.
91:13 You will tread on the lion and the adder, the young lion and the serpent you will trample under foot.
91:14 Because he cleaves to me in love, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he knows my name.
91:15 When he calls to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will rescue him and honor him.
91:16 With long life I will satisfy him, and show him my salvation.
