A prayer of Moses, God's servant.

God lives for ever![a]

90 Lord, from long ago,
    you have always been a safe home for us.[b]
From before the mountains began,
    and before you made the world,
you were already there, as God.
    You have no beginning and no end.
People return to dust in the ground when they die.
    You say, ‘Become dust again, you people.’[c]

Footnotes

  1. 90:1 These are words that Moses prayed. This psalm makes us think of Genesis 3 and Deuteronomy 32. We learn about God (verses 1-2) and about people (verses 3-6). We learn that God is angry when we do wrong things (verses 7-11), so we should be careful in how we live our short lives (verses 12-17).
  2. 90:1 See John 14:2.
  3. 90:3 See Genesis 2:7.
