Day 181 of 364

^90:1A Prayer by Moses, the man of God. Lord, you have been our dwelling place for all generations. ^90:2Before the mountains were born, before you had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God. ^90:3You turn man to destruction, saying, “Return, you children of men.” ^90:4For a thousand years in your sight are just like yesterday when it is past, like a watch in the night. ^90:5You sweep them away as they sleep. In the morning they sprout like new grass. ^90:6In the morning it sprouts and springs up. By evening, it is withered and dry. ^90:7For we are consumed in your anger. We are troubled in your wrath. ^90:8You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence. ^90:9For all our days have passed away in your wrath. We bring our years to an end as a sigh. ^90:10The days of our years are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty years; yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, for it passes quickly, and we fly away. ^90:11Who knows the power of your anger, your wrath according to the fear that is due to you? ^90:12So teach us to count our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. ^90:13Relent, LORD! How long? Have compassion on your servants! ^90:14Satisfy us in the morning with your loving kindness, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. ^90:15Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen evil. ^90:16Let your work appear to your servants, your glory to their children. ^90:17Let the favor of the Lord our God be on us. Establish the work of our hands for us. Yes, establish the work of our hands. ^91:1He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. ^91:2I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.” ^91:3For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly pestilence. ^91:4He will cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will take refuge. His faithfulness is your shield and rampart. ^91:5You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day, ^91:6nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that wastes at noonday. ^91:7A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you. ^91:8You will only look with your eyes, and see the recompense of the wicked. ^91:9Because you have made the LORD your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place, ^91:10no evil shall happen to you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling. ^91:11For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways. ^91:12They will bear you up in their hands, so that you won’t dash your foot against a stone. ^91:13You will tread on the lion and cobra. You will trample the young lion and the serpent underfoot. ^91:14“Because he has set his love on me, therefore I will deliver him. I will set him on high, because he has known my name. ^91:15He will call on me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and honor him. ^91:16I will satisfy him with long life, and show him my salvation.” ^92:1A Psalm. A song for the Sabbath day. It is a good thing to give thanks to the LORD, to sing praises to your name, Most High, ^92:2to proclaim your loving kindness in the morning, and your faithfulness every night, ^92:3with the ten-stringed lute, with the harp, and with the melody of the lyre. ^92:4For you, LORD, have made me glad through your work. I will triumph in the works of your hands. ^92:5How great are your works, LORD! Your thoughts are very deep. ^92:6A senseless man doesn’t know, neither does a fool understand this: ^92:7though the wicked spring up as the grass, and all the evildoers flourish, they will be destroyed forever. ^92:8But you, LORD, are on high forever more. ^92:9For behold, your enemies, LORD, for behold, your enemies shall perish. All the evildoers will be scattered. ^92:10But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox. I am anointed with fresh oil. ^92:11My eye has also seen my enemies. My ears have heard of the wicked enemies who rise up against me. ^92:12The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree. He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon. ^92:13They are planted in the LORD’s house. They will flourish in our God’s courts. ^92:14They will still produce fruit in old age. They will be full of sap and green, ^92:15to show that the LORD is upright. He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
