 God is in the midst of her, therefore shall she not be removed; * God shall help her, and that right early.

Be still then, and know that I am God; * I will be exalted among the nations, and I will be exalted in the earth.

The of hosts is with us; * the God of Jacob is our refuge.

Psalm 90    Domine, refugium

, thou hast been our refuge, * from one generation to another.

Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever the earth and the world were made, * thou art God from everlasting, and world without end.

Thou turnest man to destruction; * again thou sayest, Come again, ye children of men.

For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, * and as a watch in the night.

As soon as thou scatterest them they are even as a sleep, * and fade away suddenly like the grass.

In the morning it is green, and groweth up; * but in the evening it is cut down, dried up, and withered.

For we consume away in thy displeasure, * and are afraid at thy wrathful indignation.

Thou hast set our misdeeds before thee, * and our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.
