089:050 Remember, Lord, the reproach of your servants, how I bear
in my heart the taunts of all the mighty peoples,
089:051 With which your enemies have mocked, Yahweh, with which they
have mocked the footsteps of your anointed one.
089:052 Blessed be Yahweh forevermore. Amen, and Amen.
090:001 <<A Prayer by Moses, the man of God.>> Lord, you have been
our dwelling place for all generations.
090:002 Before the mountains were brought forth, before you had formed
the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting,
you are God.
090:003 You turn man to destruction, saying, "Return, you children of men."
090:004 For a thousand years in your sight are just like yesterday
when it is past, like a watch in the night.
090:005 You sweep them away as they sleep. In the morning they sprout
like new grass.
090:006 In the morning it sprouts and springs up. By evening,
it is withered and dry.
090:007 For we are consumed in your anger. We are troubled in your wrath.
090:008 You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins
in the light of your presence.
090:009 For all our days have passed away in your wrath.
We bring our years to an end as a sigh.
090:010 The 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.
090:011 Who knows the power of your anger, your wrath according
to the fear that is due to you?
090:012 So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
090:013 Relent, Yahweh! How long? Have compassion on your servants!
090:014 Satisfy us in the morning with your loving kindness, that we
may rejoice and be glad all our days.
090:015 Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us,
for as many years as we have seen evil.
090:016 Let your work appear to your servants; your glory to their children.
090:017 Let 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.
091:001 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest
in the shadow of the Almighty.
091:002 I will say of Yahweh, "He is my refuge and my fortress;
my God, in whom I trust."
091:003 For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler,
and from the deadly pestilence.
091:004 He will cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will
take refuge. His faithfulness is your shield and rampart.
091:005 You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow
that flies by day;
091:006 nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction
that wastes at noonday.
091:007 A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your
right hand; but it will not come near you.
091:008 You will only look with your eyes, and see the recompense
of the wicked.
