Psalm 90
90
1 The Praise of a Canticle, of David. Whoever dwells with the assistance of the Most High will abide in the protection of the God of heaven.
2 He will say to the Lord, "You are my supporter and my refuge." My God, I will hope in him.
3 For he has freed me from the snare of those who go hunting, and from the harsh word.
4 He will overshadow you with his shoulders, and you will hope under his wings.
5 His truth will surround you with a shield. You will not be afraid: before the terror of the night,
6 before the arrow flying in the day, before the troubles that wander in the darkness, nor of invasion and the midday demon.
7 A thousand will fall before your side and ten thousand before your right hand. Yet it will not draw near you.
8 So then, truly, you will consider with your eyes, and you will see the retribution of sinners.
9 For you, O Lord, are my hope. You have set the Most High as your refuge.
10 Disaster will not draw near to you, and the scourge will not approach your tabernacle.
11 For he has given his Angels charge over you, so as to preserve you in all your ways.
12 With their hands, they will carry you, lest you hurt your foot against a stone.
13 You will walk over the asp and the king serpent, and you will trample the lion and the dragon.
14 Because he has hoped in me, I will free him. I will protect him because he has known my name.
15 He will cry out to me, and I will heed him. I am with him in tribulation. I will rescue him, and I will glorify him.
16 I will fill him with length of days. And I will reveal to him my salvation.

Book Four
Psalms 90—106
Of God and Humanity#Ps 90 Hebrew title: A prayer by Moses, the man of God.
1O Lord, you have always been our home.
2Before you created the hills
or brought the world into being,
you were eternally God,
and will be God for ever.
3You tell us to return to what we were;
you change us back to dust.

2 Pet 3.8
A thousand years to you are like one day;
they are like yesterday, already gone,
like a short hour in the night.
5You carry us away like a flood;
we last no longer than a dream.
We are like weeds that sprout in the morning,
6that grow and burst into bloom,
then dry up and die in the evening.
7We are destroyed by your anger;
we are terrified by your fury.
8You place our sins before you,
our secret sins where you can see them.
9Our life is cut short by your anger;
it fades away like a whisper.
10Seventy years is all we have —
eighty years, if we are strong;
yet all they bring us is trouble and sorrow;
life is soon over, and we are gone.
11Who has felt the full power of your anger?
Who knows what fear your fury can bring?
12Teach us how short our life is,
so that we may become wise.
13How much longer will your anger last?
Have pity, O LORD, on your servants!
14Fill us each morning with your constant love,
so that we may sing and be glad all our life.
15Give us now as much happiness as the sadness you gave us
during all our years of misery.
16Let us, your servants, see your mighty deeds;
let our descendants see your glorious might.
17 LORD our God, may your blessings be with us.
Give us success in all we do!
