Psalmes 91

P S A L. XC.

1 Moses setting foorth Gods prouidence, 3 complaineth, of humane fragility, 7 diuine chastisements, 10 and breuity of life. 12 He prayeth for the knowledge and sencible experience of Gods good prouidence.

¶ [fn]A prayer of Moses the man of God.

XCI ¶ LORD, thou hast bene our dwelling place in all generations. 2 Before the mountaines were broughtforth, or euer thou hadst formed the earth and the world: euen from euerlasting to euerlasting thou art God. 3 Thou turnest man to destruction: and sayest, Returne yee children of men. 4 [ref][fn]For a thousand yeeres in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past: and as a watch in the night. 5 [fn]Thou carriest them away as with a flood, they are as a sleepe: in the morning they are like grasse which groweth vp. 6 In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth vp: in the euening it is cut downe, and withereth. 7 For we are consumed by thine anger: and by thy wrath are we troubled. 8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee: our secret sinnes in the light of thy countenance. 9 [fn][fn]For all our dayes are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our yeeres as a tale that is told. 10 [fn]The dayes of our yeres are threescore yeeres and ten, and if by reason of strength they be fourescore yeeres, yet is their strength labour and sorrow: for it is soone cut off, and we flie away. 11 Who knoweth the power of thine anger? euen according to thy feare, so is thy wrath. 12 [fn]So teach vs to number our daies: that wee may apply our hearts vnto wisedome. 13 Returne (O LORD) how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy seruants. 14 O satisfie vs early with thy mercie: that we may reioyce, and be glad all our dayes. 15 Make vs glad according to the dayes wherein thou hast afflicted vs: and the yeeres wherein we haue seene euil. 16 Let thy worke appeare vnto thy seruants: and thy glory vnto their children. 17 And let the beautie of the LORD our God be vpon vs, and establish thou the worke of our hands vpon vs: yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.

P S A L. XCI.

1 The state of the godly. 3 Their safety. 9 Their habitation. 11 Their seruants. 14 Their friend, with the effects of them all.

XCI ¶ [fn]He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most high: shall abide vnder the shadow of the Almightie. 2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge, and my fortresse: my God, in him will I trust. 3 Surely he shall deliuer thee from the snare of the fouler: and from the noisome pestilence. 4 Hee shall couer thee with his feathers, and vnder his wings shalt thou trust: his trueth shall bee thy shield and buckler. 5 Thou shalt not bee afraid for the terrour by night: nor for the arrow that flieth by day: 6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darknes: nor for the destruction, that wasteth at noone-day. 7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand: but it shall not come nigh thee. 8 Onely with thine eyes shalt thou behold: & see the reward of the wicked. 9 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, euen the most High, thy habitation: 10 There shall no euill befall thee: neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. 11 [ref]For hee shall giue his Angels charge ouer thee: to keepe thee in all thy wayes. 12 They shall beare thee vp in their hands: lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. 13 [fn]Thou shalt tread vpon the Lion, and adder: the yong Lion and the dragon shalt thou trample vnder feete. 14 Because he hath set his loue vpon me, therefore will I deliuer him: I wil set him on high, because hee hath knowen my Name. 15 He shall call vpon me, and I will answere him: I will bee with him in trouble, I will deliuer him, and honour him. 16 [fn]With long life wil I satisfie him: and shew him my saluation.
