Psalms 90:1

BOOK FOUR: Psalms 90—106 The Eternity of God, and Man’s Frailty

A Prayer of Moses the man of God.

1 Lord, ^aYou have been our dwelling place in all generations.

2 ^aBefore the mountains were brought forth,
Or ever You¹ had formed the earth and the world,
Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.

3 You turn man to destruction,
And say, ^a“Return, O children of men.”

4 ^aFor a thousand years in Your sight
Are like yesterday when it is past,
And like a watch in the night.

5 You carry them away like a flood;
^aThey are like a sleep.
In the morning ^bthey are like grass which grows up:

6 In the morning it flourishes and grows up;
In the evening it is cut down and withers.

Psalms 90:1

Dwelling place - Although we and our fathers, for some generations, have had no fixed habitation, yet thou hast been instead of a dwelling - place to us, by thy watchful and gracious providence. And this intimates that all the following miseries were not to be imputed to God but themselves.
