BOOK IV

Psalms 90-106

Psalm 90

A prayer of Moses the man of God.

1Lord, you have been our dwelling place
throughout all generations.

2Before the mountains were born
or you brought forth the earth and the world,
from everlasting to everlasting you are God.

3You turn men back to dust,
saying, “Return to dust, O sons of men.”

4For a thousand years in your sight
are like a day that has just gone by,
or like a watch in the night.

5You sweep men away in the sleep of death;
they are like the new grass of the morning—

6though in the morning it springs up new,
by evening it is dry and withered.

7We are consumed by your anger
and terrified by your indignation.

8You have set our iniquities before you,
our secret sins in the light of your presence.

9All our days pass away under your wrath;
we finish our years with a moan.

10The length of our days is seventy years—
or eighty, if we have the strength;
yet their spanOr yet the best of them is but trouble and sorrow,
for they quickly pass, and we fly away.

11Who knows the power of your anger?
For your wrath is as great as the fear that is due you.

12Teach us to number our days aright,
that we may gain a heart of wisdom.

13Relent, O LORD! How long will it be?
Have compassion on your servants.

14Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love,
that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.

15Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us,
for as many years as we have seen trouble.

16May your deeds be shown to your servants,
your splendor to their children.

17May the favorOr beauty of the Lord our God rest upon us;
establish the work of our hands for us—
yes, establish the work of our hands.

Psalm 91

1He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.Hebrew Shaddai

2I will sayOr He says of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”

3Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare
and from the deadly pestilence.

4He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

5You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,

6nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.

7A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.

8You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.

9If you make the Most High your dwelling—
even the LORD, who is my refuge—

10then no harm will befall you,
no disaster will come near your tent.

11For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;

12they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

13You will tread upon the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

14“Because he loves me,” says the LORD, “I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.

15He will call upon me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.

16With long life will I satisfy him
and show him my salvation.”

The Psalmist writes of a time of peril and trouble. Snares, pestilences, and great evil are seemingly running rampant upon all Earth’s inhabitants. With all of the wickedness and suffering surrounding the Psalmist, one would wonder why he would follow a so-called God Who claims to be a protector. The reader is quickly corrected, ‘Those who go to God Most High for safety will be protected by the Almighty.’ A bold claim for anyone, especially a stuttering Shepherd named Moses (Moses is believed to be the author of this Psalm). As Moses continues to write, the claims grow in magnitude. It eventually swells into the boldest of claims: At your side one thousand people may die, or even ten thousand right beside you, but you will not be hurt. Wow. The host of enemies who set you up at work. Those that curse you and your God. The terrorist that hijacked American planes. The wicked who planted anthrax in public places. The so called friends who get close to you just to know your secrets. All of the wicked. David relays the one word that God has in store for the enemies of Eternity’s King and the King’s children: failure. Every lie, every trap, every attempt will all be met by angels itching to slay demons in the Name of the King. On one side let thousands fail. Beside your right hand let liars be consumed. Be surrounded by failed attempts, Believer, but God promises one thing about you: you will not be hurt. They cannot take your job. They cannot break your marriage. They cannot claim your children. While they fail, you will sit at a God-prepared table in the presence of your enemies. What will you do while you eat? ‘Watch and see the wicked punished.’

I pray for them: I pray NOT for the world, but for them which THOU hast given ME; for they are THINE. 10 And ALL MINE are THINE, and THINE are MINE; and I AM glorified in them. 11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to THEE. Holy Father, keep through THINE OWN NAME those whom THOU hast given ME, that they may be one, as WE are(ONE). 12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in THY NAME: those that THOU gavest ME I have kept, and NONE of them is lost, but the son of perdition(And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him;John 13:2); that the scripture might be fulfilled. 13 And now come I to THEE; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have MY JOY FULFILLED in themselves. 14 I have given them THY WORD; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 15 I pray NOT that THOU shouldest take them out of the world, but that THOU shouldest KEEP them FROM the evil.(For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee.Isaiah 54:10) 16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.(CP) 17 Sanctify them through THY truth: THY word is truth. 18 As THOU hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. 19 And for their sakes I sanctify MYSELF, that they also might be SANCTIFIED through the truth. 20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on ME through their word; 21 That they all may be one; as THOU, Father, art in ME, and I in THEE, that they also may be one in US: that the world may believe that THOU.hast sent ME.(John 17:9>21)We(Christ Ecclesiastical Family) embrace the Grace of Almighty Abba Father<>Through the DIVINE Faith in the blood of Jesus Christ the Sovereign Son<>F<\+/>S<>
