Psalms 89:38-91:13
Chapter 89
38 But You have (C1)rejected and (C2)refused,
You have been full of wrath (F1)against Your (C3)anointed.
39 You have (F1)(C1)repudiated the covenant of Your servant;
You have (C2)profaned (C3)his crown (F2)in the dust.
40 You have (C1)broken down all his walls;
You have (C2)brought his strongholds to ruin.
41 (C1)All who pass along the way plunder him;
He has become a (C2)disgrace to his neighbors.
42 You have (C1)exalted the right hand of his adversaries;
You have (C2)made all his enemies rejoice.
43 You also turn back the edge of his sword,
And have (C1)not made him stand in battle.
44 You have put an end to his (F1)(C1)splendor
And cast his throne to the ground.
45 You have (C1)shortened the days of his youth;
You have (C2)covered him with shame. Selah
46 (C1)How long, LORD?
Will You hide Yourself forever?
Will Your (C2)wrath burn like fire?
47 (C1)Remember (F1)what my lifespan is;
For what (C2)futility (F2)You have created all the sons of mankind!
48 What man can live and not (C1)see death?
Can he (C2)save his soul from the (F1)power of (F2)Sheol? Selah
49 Where are Your former acts of favor, Lord,
Which You (C1)swore to David in Your faithfulness?
50 Remember, Lord, the (C1)taunt against Your servants;
(F1)How I carry in my heart the taunts of all the many peoples,
51 With which (C1)Your enemies have taunted, LORD,
With which they have taunted the footsteps of (C2)Your anointed.
52 (C1)Blessed be the LORD forever!
Amen and Amen.
Chapter 90
God's Eternity and the Brevity of Human Life.
1 Lord, You have been our (F1)(C1)dwelling place in all generations.
2 Before (C1)the mountains were born
(F1)Or You (C2)gave birth to the earth and the world,
Even (C3)from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.
3 You (C1)turn mortals back into dust
And say, "Return, you sons of mankind."
4 For (C1)a thousand years in Your sight
Are like (C2)yesterday when it passes by,
(F1)Or like a (C3)watch in the night.
5 You (C1)have (F1)swept them away like a flood, they (F2)(C2)fall asleep;
In the morning they are like (C3)grass that (F3)sprouts anew.
6 In the morning it (C1)flourishes and (F1)sprouts anew;
Toward evening it (C2)wilts and (C3)withers away.
7 For we have been (C1)consumed by Your anger,
And we have been terrified by Your wrath.
8 You have (C1)placed our guilty deeds before You,
Our (C2)hidden sins in the light of Your presence.
9 For (C1)all our days have dwindled away in Your fury;
We have finished our years like a (F1)sigh.
10 As for the days of our (F1)life, (F2)they contain seventy years,
Or if due to strength, (C1)eighty years,
Yet their pride is only (C2)trouble and tragedy;
For it quickly passes, and we (C3)disappear.
11 Who (F1)understands the (C1)power of Your anger
And Your fury, according to the (C2)fear (F2)that is due You?
12 So (C1)teach us to number our days,
That we may (F1)(C2)present to You a heart of wisdom.
13 Do (C1)return, LORD; (C2)how long will it be?
And (F1)be (C3)sorry for Your servants.
14 (C1)Satisfy us in the morning with Your graciousness,
That we may (C2)sing for joy and rejoice all our days.
15 (C1)Make us glad (F1)according to the days You have afflicted us,
And the (C2)years we have seen (F2)evil.
16 Let Your (C1)work appear to Your servants
And Your (C2)majesty (F1)to their children.
17 May the (C1)kindness of the Lord our God be upon us;
And (F1)(C2)confirm for us the work of our hands;
Yes, (F1)confirm the work of our hands.
Chapter 91
Security of One Who Trusts in the LORD.
1 One who dwells in the (C1)shelter of the Most High
Will lodge in the (C2)shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say to the LORD, "My (C1)refuge and my (C2)fortress,
My God, in whom I (C3)trust!"
3 For it is He who rescues you from the (C1)net of the trapper
And from the deadly (C2)plague.
4 He will (C1)cover you with His pinions,
And (C2)under His wings you may take refuge;
His (C3)faithfulness is a (C4)shield and wall.
5 You (C1)will not be afraid of the (C2)terror by night,
Or of the (C3)arrow that flies by day;
6 Of the (C1)plague that (F1)stalks in darkness,
Or of the (C2)destruction that devastates at noon.
7 A thousand may fall at your side
And ten thousand at your right hand,
But (C1)it shall not approach you.
8 You will only look on with your eyes
And (C1)see the retaliation against the wicked.
9 (F1)For you have made the LORD, (C1)my refuge,
The Most High, (C2)your dwelling place.
10 (C1)No evil will happen to you,
Nor will any plague come near your (F1)tent.
11 For He will give (C1)His angels orders concerning you,
To protect you in all your ways.
12 On their hands they will (C1)lift you up,
So that you do not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will (C1)walk upon the lion and cobra,
You will trample the young lion and the (F1)serpent.<
