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


Psalm 90  Domino, refugium

LORD, 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 the 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.
