Psalms 90

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	NEW JERUSALEM
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.	1 [Prayer Of Moses, man of God] Lord, you have been our refuge from age to age.
2 He will say to the Lord, “You are my supporter and my refuge.” My God, I will hope in him.	2 Before the mountains were born, before the earth and the world came to birth, from eternity to eternityyou are God.
3 For he has freed me from the snare of those who go hunting, and from the harsh word.	3 You bring human beings to the dust, by saying, 'Return, children of Adam.'
4 He will overshadow you with his shoulders, and you will hope under his wings.	4 A thousand years are to you like a yesterday which has passed, like a watch of the night.
5 His truth will surround you with a shield. You will not be afraid: before the terror of the night,	5 You flood them with sleep -- in the morning they wil be like growing grass:
6 before the arrow flying in the day, before the troubles that wander in the darkness, nor of invasion and the midday demon.	6 in the morning it is blossoming and growing, by evening it is withered and dry.
7 A thousand will fall before your side and ten thousand before your right hand. Yet it will not draw near you.	7 For we have been destroyed by your wrath, dismayed by your anger.
8 So then, truly, you will consider with your eyes, and you will see the retribution of sinners.	8 You have taken note of our guilty deeds, our secrets in the ful light of your presence.
9 For you, O Lord, are my hope. You have set the Most High as your refuge.	9 Al our days pass under your wrath, our lives are over like a sigh.
10 Disaster will not draw near to you, and the scourge will not approach your tabernacle.	10 The span of our life is seventy years -- eighty for those who are strong -- but their whole extent isanxiety and trouble, they are over in a moment and we are gone.
11 For he has given his Angels charge over you, so as to preserve you in all your ways.	11 Who feels the power of your anger, or who that fears you, your wrath?
12 With their hands, they will carry you, lest you hurt your foot against a stone.	12 Teach us to count up the days that are ours, and we shal come to the heart of wisdom.
13 You will walk over the asp and the king serpent, and you will trample the lion and the dragon.	13 Come back, Yahweh! How long must we wait? Take pity on your servants.
14 Because he has hoped in me, I will free him. I will protect him because he has known my name.	14 Each morning fill us with your faithful love, we shal sing and be happy all our days;
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.	15 let our joy be as long as the time that you afflicted us, the years when we experienced disaster.
16 I will fill him with length of days. And I will reveal to him my salvation.	16 Show your servants the deeds you do, let their children enjoy your splendour!
	17 May the sweetness of the Lord be upon us, to confirm the work we have done!
