Psalm 90–92

Psalm 90

^||A Prayer ^*of Moses the man of God.

¹Lord, ^athou hast been our dwelling place ^†in all generations.

^2bBefore ^cthe mountains were ^dbrought forth,

Or ever thou hadst ^bdformed ^ethe earth and the world,

^fEven from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.

³Thou ^gturnest man to destruction;

And sayest, Return, ye children of men.

⁴For ^ha thousand years in thy sight

ⁱAre but as yesterday ^||when it is past,

And as a watch in the night.

⁵Thou ^kcarriest them away as with a flood; ^lthey are as a sleep:

In the morning they are ^mnlike grass which ^||ogroweth up.

^6pIn the morning it ^nqflourisheth, and ^ogroweth up;

^pIn the evening it is ^mqcut down, and withereth.

⁷For we are consumed by thine anger,

And by thy wrath are we troubled.

^8rThou hast set our iniquities before thee,

^sOur secret sins in the light of thy countenance.

⁹For all our days are ^†passed away in thy wrath:

We spend our years ^||as a tale that is told.

^10†tThe days of our years are threescore years and ten;

And if by reason of strength they be fourscore years,

Yet is their strength labour and sorrow;

For it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

¹¹Who knoweth the power of thine anger?

Even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath.

^12uSo teach us to number our days,

That we may ^†apply our hearts unto wisdom.

^13wReturn, O Lord, ^xhow long?

And let it ^yrepent thee concerning thy servants.

¹⁴O satisfy us ^zearly with thy mercy;

That ^awe may rejoice and be glad all our days.

¹⁵Make us glad according to ^bthe days wherein thou hast afflicted us,

And ^bthe years wherein we have seen evil.

¹⁶Let ^cthy work appear unto thy servants,

And thy glory unto their children.

¹⁷And let ^dthe beauty of the Lord our God be upon us:

And establish thou ^ethe work of our hands upon us;

Yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.

Psalm 91

¹He that dwelleth in ^athe secret place of the most High

Shall ^†abide ^bunder the shadow of the Almighty.

²I will say of the Lord, He is my ^crefuge and ^dmy fortress:

My God; ^ein him will I trust.

³Surely he shall ^fdeliver thee from ^gthe snare of the fowler,

And from the ^hnoisome pestilence.

⁴He shall cover thee with his ⁱfeathers,

And ^kunder his ^biwings shalt thou trust:

His truth shall be thy ^lshield and buckler.

⁵Thou shalt not be afraid ^mfor the terror by night;

Nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

⁶Nor for the pestilence that walketh in ⁿdarkness;

Nor for the ^odestruction that wasteth at noonday.

⁷A thousand shall fall at thy side,

And ten thousand at thy right hand;

But it shall not come nigh thee.

⁸Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold

And ^oosee the reward of the wicked.

⁹Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my ^crefuge,

Even the most High, thy ^phabitation;

^10qThere shall no evil befall thee,

Neither shall any ^rplague come nigh thy ^sdwelling.

^11tFor he shall give ^uhis angels charge over thee,

To keep thee in all thy ways.

¹²They shall bear thee up in their hands,

Lest thou ^xdash thy foot against a stone.

¹³Thou shalt tread upon the ^ylion and ^||adder:

The young lion and the ^zdragon shalt thou ^atrample under feet.

^14bBecause he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him:

I will ^cset him on high, because he hath ^dknown my name.

¹⁵He shall ^ecall upon me, and I will answer him:

I will be with him in trouble;

^fI will deliver him, and ^fghonour him.

^16hWith ^†long life will I satisfy him,

And shew him my salvation.

Psalm 92

^*A Psalm or Song for the sabbath day.

^1aIt is a good thing to ^bgive thanks unto the Lord,

And to ^bsing praises unto thy name, O most High:

²To shew forth thy ^clovingkindness in the morning,

And ^cthy faithfulness ^†every night,

^3dUpon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the ^bdpsaltery;

^||Upon the ^bdharp with ^†a solemn sound.

⁴For thou, Lord, hast made me glad through ^ethy work:

I will triumph in the ^eworks of thy hands.

⁵O Lord, ^fhow great are thy works!

And thy thoughts are very ^gdeep.

⁶A ^hbrutish man knoweth not;

Neither doth ^ha fool understand this.

⁷When ⁱthe wicked ^kspring as the grass,

And when all ^jthe workers of iniquity do ^klflourish;

It is that they shall be destroyed for ever:

⁸But thou, Lord, art ^mmost high for evermore.

⁹For, lo, ⁿthine enemies, O Lord,

For, lo, ⁿthine enemies shall perish;

All ^jthe workers of iniquity shall ^obe scattered.

¹⁰But ^pmy horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of ^qan unicorn:

I shall be anointed ^rwith ^sfresh oil.

^11tMine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies,

And mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me.

^12uThe righteous shall ^kflourish like ^xthe palm tree:

He shall grow like ^ya cedar in Lebanon.

¹³Those that be ^zplanted ^ain the house of the Lord

Shall ^kflourish in ^bthe courts of our God.

¹⁴They shall still bring forth fruit in old age;

They shall be fat and ^†flourishing;

^15cTo shew that the Lord is upright:

He is ^dmy rock, and ^ethere is no unrighteousness in him.
