Psalms

A Prayer of Moses the man of God.

1Lord, thou hast been our dwelling-place In all generations.

2Before the mountains were brought forth, Or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.

3Thou turnest man to destruction, And sayest, Return, ye children of men.

4For a thousand years in thy sight Are but as yesterday when it is past, And as a watch in the night.

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

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

7For we are consumed in thine anger, And in thy wrath are we troubled.

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

9For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: We bring our years to an end as a sigh.

10The days of our years are threescore years and ten, Or even by reason of strength fourscore years; Yet is their pride but labor and sorrow; For it is soon gone, and we fly away.

11Who knoweth the power of thine anger, And thy wrath according to the fear that is due unto thee?

12So teach us to number our days, That we may get us a heart of wisdom.

13Return, O Jehovah; how long? And let it repent thee concerning thy servants.

14Oh satisfy us in the morning with thy lovingkindness, That we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

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

16Let thy work appear unto thy servants, And thy glory upon their children.

17And let the favor 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.

1The praise of a canticle for David. He that dwelleth in the aid of the most High, shall abide under the protection of the God of Jacob.

2He shall say to the Lord: Thou art my protector, and my refuge: my God, in him will I trust.

3For he hath delivered me from the snare of the hunters: and from the sharp word.

4He will overshadow thee with his shoulders: and under his wings thou shalt trust.

5His truth shall compass thee with a shield: thou shalt not be afraid of the terror of the night.

6Of the arrow that flieth in the day, of the business that walketh about in the dark: of invasion, or of the noonday devil.

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

8But thou shalt consider with thy eyes: and shalt see the reward of the wicked.

9Because thou, O Lord, art my hope: thou hast made the most High thy refuge.

10There shall no evil come to thee: nor shall the scourge come near thy dwelling.

11For he hath given his angels charge over thee; to keep thee in all thy ways.

12In their hands they shall bear thee up: lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

13Thou shalt walk upon the asp and the basilisk: and thou shalt trample under foot the lion and the dragon.

14Because he hoped in me I will deliver him: I will protect him because he hath known my name.

15He shall cry to me, and I will hear him: I am with him in tribulation, I will deliver him, and I will glorify him.

16I will fill him with length of days; and I will shew him my salvation.
