Psalm 90-92

American Standard Version

90 Lord, thou hast been our dwelling-place
In all generations.
² Before the mountains were brought forth,
Or ever thou ^[a]hadst formed the earth and the world,
Even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.
³ Thou turnest man to ^[b]destruction,
And sayest, Return, ye children of men.
⁴ For a thousand years in thy sight
Are but as yesterday ^[c]when it is past,
And as a watch in the night.
⁵ Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep:
In the morning they are like grass which groweth up.
⁶ In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up;
In the evening it is cut down, and withereth.
⁷ For we are consumed in thine anger,
And in thy wrath are we troubled.
⁸ Thou hast set our iniquities before thee,
Our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.
⁹ For all our days are passed away in thy wrath:
We bring our years to an end as ^[d]a sigh.
¹⁰ The days of our years are threescore years and ten,
Or even by reason of strength fourscore years;
Yet is their pride but labor and sorrow;
For it is soon gone, and we fly away.
¹¹ Who knoweth the power of thine anger,
And thy wrath according to the fear that is due unto thee?
¹² So teach us to number our days,
That we may get us a heart of wisdom.
¹³ Return, O Jehovah; how long?
And let it repent thee concerning thy servants.
¹⁴ Oh satisfy us in the morning with thy lovingkindness,
That we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
¹⁵ Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us,
And the years wherein we have seen evil.
¹⁶ Let thy work appear unto thy servants,
And thy glory upon their children.
¹⁷ And let the ^[e]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 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High
^[f]Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
² I will say of Jehovah, He is my refuge and my fortress;
My God, in whom I trust.
³ For he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler,
And from the deadly pestilence.
⁴ He will cover thee with his pinions,
And under his wings shalt thou take refuge:
His truth is a shield and a buckler.
⁵ Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night,
Nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
⁶ For the pestilence that walketh in darkness,
Nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
⁷ A thousand shall fall at thy side,
And ten thousand at thy right hand;
But it shall not come nigh thee.
⁸ Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold,
And see the reward of the wicked.
^9 [g]For thou, O Jehovah, art my refuge!
Thou hast made the Most High thy habitation;
¹⁰ There shall no evil befall thee,
Neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent.
¹¹ For he will give his angels charge over thee,
To keep thee in all thy ways.
¹² They shall bear thee up in their hands,
Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
¹³ Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder:
The young lion and the serpent shalt thou trample under foot.
¹⁴ Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him:
I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
¹⁵ He shall call upon me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble:
I will deliver him, and honor him.
¹⁶ With long life will I satisfy him,
And show him my salvation.

92 It is a good thing to give thanks unto Jehovah,
And to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High;
² To show forth thy lovingkindness in the morning,
And thy faithfulness every night,
³ With an instrument of ten strings, and with the psaltery;
With a solemn sound upon the harp.
⁴ For thou, Jehovah, hast made me glad through thy work:
I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
⁵ How great are thy works, O Jehovah!
Thy thoughts are very deep.
⁶ A brutish man knoweth not;
Neither doth a fool understand this:
⁷ When the wicked spring as the grass,
And when all the workers of iniquity do flourish;
It is that they shall be destroyed for ever.
⁸ But thou, O Jehovah, art on high for evermore.
⁹ For, lo, thine enemies, O Jehovah,
For, lo, thine enemies shall perish;
All the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
¹⁰ But my horn hast thou exalted like the horn of the wild-ox:
I am anointed with fresh oil.
¹¹ Mine eye also hath seen my desire on ^[h]mine enemies,
Mine ears have heard my desire of the evil-doers that rise up against me.
¹² The righteous shall flourish like the palm-tree:
He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
¹³ They are planted in the house of Jehovah;
They shall flourish in the courts of our God.
¹⁴ They shall still bring forth fruit in old age;
They shall be full of sap and green:
¹⁵ To show that Jehovah is upright;
He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
