39 You have refused to recognize the promise to your servant and have thrown his crown into the dirt.

40 You have broken through all his walls and have laid his fortified cities in ruins.

41 (Everyone who passed by robbed him.

He has become the object of his neighbors' scorn.) 42 You held the right hand of his enemies high and made all of his adversaries rejoice.

43 You even took his sword out of his hand and failed to support him in battle.

44 You put an end to his splendor and hurled his throne to the ground.

45 You cut short the days of his youth and covered him with shame.

Selah 46 How long, O Yahweh? Will you hide yourself forever?

How long will your anger continue to burn like fire?

47 Remember how short my life is!

Have you created Adam's descendants for no reason?

48 Can a mortal go on living and never see death?

Who can set himself free from the power of the grave?

Selah 49 Where is the evidence of your mercy, Adonay ?

You swore an oath to David on the basis of your faithfulness.

50 Remember, O Yahweh,a how your servantb has been insulted.

Remember how I have carried in my heart the insults from so many people.

51 Your enemies insulted me.

They insulted your Mashiach c every step he took.

52 Thank Yahweh forever.

Amen and amen!

BOOK FOUR.

(Psalms 90-106) Psalm 90 A prayer by Moses, the man of Elohim.

1 O Adonay , you have been our refuge throughout every generation.

2 Before the mountains were born, before you gave birth to the earth and the world, you were El.

You are El from everlasting to everlasting.

3 You turn mortals back into dust and say, "Return, descendants of Adam."

4 Indeed, in your sight a thousand years are like a single day, like yesterday-already past- like an hour in the night.

5 You sweep mortals away.

They are a dream.

They sprout again in the morning like cut grass.

6 In the morning they blossom and sprout.

In the evening they wither and dry up.

7 Indeed, your anger consumes us.

Your rage terrifies us.

8 You have set our sins in front of you.

You have put our secret sins in the light of your presence.

9 Indeed, all our days slip away because of your fury.

We live out our years like one long sigh.

10 Each of us lives for 70 years- or even 80 if we are in good health.

But the best of themd bring trouble and misery.

Indeed, they are soon gone, and we fly away.

11 Who fully understands the power of your anger?

A person fears you more when he better understands your fury.e 12 Teach us to number each of our days so that we may grow in wisdom.

13 Return, Yahweh ! How long . . .?

Change your plans about us, your servants.

14 Satisfy us every morning with your mercy so that we may sing joyfully and rejoice all our days.

15 Make us rejoice for as many days as you have made us suffer, for as many years as we have experienced evil.

16 Let us, your servants, see what you can do.

Let our children see your glorious power.

17 Let the kindness of Adonay our Elohim be with us.

Make us successful in everything we do.

Yes, make us successful in everything we do.

Psalm 91 1 Whoever lives under the shelter of Elyon will remain in the shadow of Shadday .

2 I will say to Yahweh, "You are my Machseh and my Metsuda , my Elohim in whom I trust."

3 He is the one who will rescue you from hunters' traps and from deadly plagues.

4 He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge.

His truth is your shield and armor.

5 You do not need to fear terrors of the night, arrows that fly during the day, 6 plagues that roam the dark, epidemics that strike at noon.

7 They will not come near you, even though a thousand may fall dead beside you or ten thousand at your right side.

8 You only have to look with your eyes to see the punishment of wicked people.

9 You, O Yahweh , are my Machseh !

You have made Elyon your home.

10 No harm will come to you.

No sickness will come near your house.

11 He will put his angels in charge of you to protect you in all your ways.

12 They will carry you in their hands so that you never hit your foot against a rock.

13 You will step on lions and cobras.

You will trample young lions and snakes.

14 Because you love me, I will rescue you.

I will protect you because you know my name.

15 When you call to me, I will answer you.

I will be with you when you are in trouble.

I will save you and honor you.

16 I will satisfy you with a long life.

I will show you how I will save you.

Psalm 92 A psalm; a song; for the day of worship.

1 It is good to give thanks to Yahweh, to make music to praise your name, O Elyon .

2 It is good to announce your mercy in the morning and your faithfulness in the evening 3 on a ten-stringed instrument and a harp and with a melody on a lyre.

4 You made me find joy in what you have done, O Yahweh.

I will sing joyfully about the works of your hands.

5 How spectacular are your works, O Yahweh!

How very deep are your thoughts!

6 A stupid person cannot know and a fool cannot understand 7 that wicked people sprout like grass and all troublemakers blossom like flowers, only to be destroyed forever.

8 But you, O Yahweh, are highly honored forever.

9 Now look at your enemies, O Yahweh.

Now look at your enemies.

They disappear, and all troublemakers are scattered.

10 But you make me as strong as a wild bull, and soothing lotion is poured on me.

11 My eyes gloat over those who spy on me.

My ears hear the cries of evildoers attacking me.

12 Righteous people flourish like palm trees and grow tall like the cedars in Lebanon.

13 They are planted in Yahweh's house.

They blossom in Elohim's courtyards.

14 Even when they are old, they still bear fruit.

They are always healthy and fresh.

15 They make it known that Yahweh is decent.

He is my rock.

He is never unfair.
