Speaker 1: You're listening to the Chapter a Day Audio Bible. I'm
Speaker 1: John Stangey, and today we're in Psalms ninety and ninety
Speaker 1: one and we'll be reading from the New American Standard Bible.
Speaker 1: Psalm ninety a prayer of Moses, the Man of God. Lord,
Speaker 1: you have been our dwelling place in all generations, before
Speaker 1: the mountains were born, or you gave birth to the
Speaker 1: earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting. You
Speaker 1: are God. You turn man back into dust and say return, O.
Speaker 1: Children of men, for a thousand years in your sight
Speaker 1: are like yesterday when it passes by, or as a
Speaker 1: watch in the night, you have swept them away like
Speaker 1: a flood. They fall asleep in the morning. They are
Speaker 1: like grass which sprouts anew. In the morning, it flourishes
Speaker 1: and sprouts anew. Toward the evening it fades and withers away.
Speaker 1: For we have been consumed by your anger and by
Speaker 1: your wrath. We have been dismayed. You have placed our
Speaker 1: iniquities before you, our secret sins, in the light of
Speaker 1: your presence, for all our days have declined in your fury.
Speaker 1: We have finished our years like a sigh. As for
Speaker 1: the days of our life they contain seventy years, or
Speaker 1: if due to strength, eighty years. Yet their pride is
Speaker 1: but labor and sorrow, For soon it is gone, and
Speaker 1: we fly away. Who understands the power of your anger
Speaker 1: and your fury according to the fear that is due you,
Speaker 1: So teach us to number our days, that we may
Speaker 1: present to you a heart of wisdom. Do return, o, Lord,
Speaker 1: how long will it be? And be sorry for your servants. Oh,
Speaker 1: satisfy us in the morning with your loving kindness, that
Speaker 1: we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.
Speaker 1: Make us glad according to the days you have afflicted
Speaker 1: us and the years we have seen evil. Let your
Speaker 1: work appear to your servants, and your majesty to their children.
Speaker 1: Let the favor of the Lord, our God be upon us,
Speaker 1: and confirm for us the work of our hands. Yes,
Speaker 1: confirm the work of our hands Psalm ninety one. He
Speaker 1: who dwells in the shelter of the most High will
Speaker 1: abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say
Speaker 1: to the Lord my refuge and my fortress, my God
Speaker 1: in whom I trust, For it is he who delivers
Speaker 1: you from the snare of the trapper and from the
Speaker 1: deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his pinions, and
Speaker 1: under his wings you may seek refuge. His faithfulness is
Speaker 1: a shield and bulwark. You will not be afraid of
Speaker 1: the terror by night, or of the arrow that flies
Speaker 1: by day, of the pestilence that stalks in darkness, or
Speaker 1: of the destruction that lays waste at noon. A thousand
Speaker 1: may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your
Speaker 1: right hand, but it shall not approach you. You will
Speaker 1: only look on with your eyes and see the recompense
Speaker 1: of the wicked. For you have made the Lord my refuge.
Speaker 1: Even the most high your dwelling place, no evil will
Speaker 1: befall you, nor will any plague come near your tent.
Speaker 1: For He will give his angels charge concerning you, to
Speaker 1: guard you in all your ways. They will bear you
Speaker 1: up in their hands, that you do not strike your
Speaker 1: foot against a stone. You will tread upon the lion
Speaker 1: and cobra, the young lion and the serpent. You will
Speaker 1: trample down. Because he has loved me. Therefore I will
Speaker 1: deliver him. I will set him securely on high. Because
Speaker 1: he has known my name. He will call upon me
Speaker 1: and I will answer him. I will be with him
Speaker 1: in trouble. I will rescue him and honor him with
Speaker 1: a long life. I will satisfy him and let him
Speaker 1: see my salvation. Let's pray, Lord, we thank you for
Speaker 1: your word, and we thank you for the privilege of
Speaker 1: being able to look at these psalms together today. And Lord,
Speaker 1: we thank you for the things that are contained here,
Speaker 1: including the remind that you are our refuge, you are
Speaker 1: our fortress. You are the one we are called to trust.
Speaker 1: And we're grateful, Lord for your deliverance. We're grateful for
Speaker 1: your protection and your provision. We're grateful Lord that all
Speaker 1: of these things have been secured for us by your son,
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. And now through faith in your son, we
Speaker 1: truly live and we are protected by you forever. So Lord,
Speaker 1: we're grateful for these things, and we're grateful for the
Speaker 1: reminders that we see in these portions of scripture today.
Speaker 1: And we commit this day to your care, and thank you,
Speaker 1: Lord for your presence with us in it. We pray
Speaker 1: this all in Jesus' name. Amen.
