Psalms: 89

89:43Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle.

89:44Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground.

89:45The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast covered him with shame. Selah.

89:46How long, LORD? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire?

89:47Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain?

89:48What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah.

89:49Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, which thou swarest unto David in thy truth?

89:50Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people;

89:51Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O LORD; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed.

89:52Blessed be the LORD for evermore. Amen, and Amen.

90:1(A Prayer of Moses the man of God.) Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.

90:2Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.

90:3Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men.

90:4For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.

90:5Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.

90:6In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.

90:7For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.

90:8Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.

90:9For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told.

90:10The 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.

90:11Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath.

90:12So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

90:13Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.

90:14O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

90:15Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil.

90:16Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children.

90:17And let the beauty 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.

91:1He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

91:2I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

91:3Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

91:4He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

91:5Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

91:6Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

91:7A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

91:8Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.

91:9Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;

91:10There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

91:11For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

91:12They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

91:13Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

91:14Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

91:15He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

91:16With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

92:1(A Psalm or Song for the sabbath day.) It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High:

92:2To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,

92:3Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound.

92:4For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.

92:5O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.

92:6A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this.

92:7When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever:
