evil.
16. Look upon your servant and upon your handiwork,
and give guidance to their offspring.
17. May the brightness of the Lord our God shine upon us,
and may you prosper for us the work of our hands.
Psalm 90
1. The one who dwells in the help of the Most High
shall find shelter in the shadow of the God of Heaven.
2. That one shall say to the Lord, “You are my helper and my refuge;
O my God, I will place my hope in him.”
3. For he shall deliver you from the snare of the hunters
and from every troubling matter.
4. He shall overshadow
with his shoulders,
and you shall trust beneath his wings.
His truth shall encompass you
like a shield.
5. You shall not fear any terror
of the night,
nor any arrow flying by day,
6. nor any evil that prowls
in the darkness
nor calamity and evil spirit at noon-day.
7. A thousand shall fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right,
but not one shall come near you.
8. With your own eyes you shall behold
and see the reward of sinners.
9. For you, O Lord, are my hope.
You, my soul, have made the Most High your refuge.
10. No evil shall befall you,
no scourge shall approach
your dwelling.
11. For he shall give his angels charge over you,
to guard you in all your ways.
12. They shall bear you up
upon their hands,
lest you dash your foot against a stone.
13. You shall tread upon the asp
and the basilisk,
and you shall trample the lion
and the dragon.
14. Because he has placed his hope in me, I will deliver him;
I will protect him, because he has known my name.
15. That one shall call upon me and I will hearken;
I am present in the midst of affliction, and I will deliver him and glorify him.
16. I will satisfy him with
abundance of days,
and make known to him my salvation.
Psalm 91
1. It is good to give thanks to the Lord,
and to sing praises to your name,
O Most High,
2. to proclaim your mercy
in the morning,
and your truth every night,
3. with a ten-string psaltery,
with a song on the harp.
4. For you, O Lord, have made me glad with your works,
and in the operations of your hands I will rejoice.
5. How great are your works, O Lord!
Your thoughts are exceedingly deep!
6. A foolish fellow cannot know;
nor can a senseless person
understand this.
7. When the sinners sprang up
like grass,
all the workers of iniquity came to light,
that they should be utterly
destroyed forever.
8. But you are the Most High forever,
O Lord.
9. For behold your enemies shall perish,
and all the workers of iniquity
shall be scattered.
10. But my horn shall be exalted as that of a unicorn,
and my old age rejuvenated
with fresh oil.
11. My eye has espied around
in the midst of my enemies,
and among the wicked who
rise against me,
my ear shall hear.
12. The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree,
and be multiplied like a cedar
in Lebanon.
13. Those who are planted in the house of the Lord,
shall flourish in the courts of our God.
14. Then they shall be multiplied in a ripe old age,
and they shall be prosperous that they may proclaim:
15. that the Lord, my God, is upright,
and that there is no unrighteous in God.
Psalm 100
1.
