A Prayer of Moses, the man of God.

90 Lord, *thou* hast been our dwelling-place in all generations.

Before the mountains were brought forth, and thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from eternity to eternity thou art God.

Thou makest [mortal] man to return to dust, and sayest, Return, children of men.

For a thousand years, in thy sight, are as yesterday when it is past, and [as] a watch in the night.

Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are [as] a sleep: in the morning they are like grass [that] groweth up:

In the morning it flourisheth and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down and withereth.

For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy fury are we troubled.

Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret [sins] in the light of thy countenance.

For all our days pass away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a [passing] thought.

10 The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if, by reason of strength, they be fourscore years, yet their pride is labour and vanity, for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

11 Who knoweth the power of thine anger? and thy wrath according to the fear of thee?

12 So teach [us] to number our days, that we may acquire a wise heart.

13 Return, Jehovah: how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.

14 Satisfy us early with thy loving-kindness; that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.

15 Make us glad according to the days [wherein] thou hast afflicted us, according to the years [wherein] we have seen evil.

16 Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy majesty unto their sons.

17 And let the beauty of Jehovah 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 shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

I say of Jehovah, My refuge and my fortress; my God, I will confide in him.

Surely *he* shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, [and] from the destructive pestilence.

He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou find refuge: his truth is a shield and buckler.

Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, for the arrow that flieth by day,

For the pestilence that walketh in darkness, for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; [but] it shall not come nigh thee.

Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, and see the reward of the wicked.

Because *thou* hast made Jehovah, my refuge, the Most High, thy dwelling-place,

10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent.

11 For he shall give his angels charge concerning 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 the adder; the young lion and the dragon 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 honour him.

16 With length of days will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
