PSAL. XC.
LOrd, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.
2. Before the mountains were brought forth,
LOrd, thou hast been our dwelling place in generations all▪
2 Before that thou the mountains high to be brought forth didst call.
Or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world: even from everlasting to everlasting thou art God.
Or ever thou hadst form'd the earth, and all the world abroad,
Ev'n thou from everlasting art to everlasting God.
3 Thou turnest man to destruction, and sayest, Return ye children of men.
3 Thou dost unto destruction man that is mortall turn,
And unto them thou doest say, Ye sons of men return.
4 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday, when it is past. and as a watch in the night.
4 Because that ev'n a thousand yeers do seem but in thy sight
As yesterdey when it is past, and as a watch in night.
5 Thou carriest them away as with a flood▪ they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grasse which groweth up.
5 They are as sleep, as with a flood thou carriest them away;
And in the morning like to grasse which groweth up are they.
6 In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up: in the evening it is cut down and withereth.
6 It in the morning groweth up, and then it …:
And in the ev'ning tide it is cut down, and withereth.
7 For we are consumed by thine anger: and by thy wrath are we troubled.
7 For we alwayes consumed are by anger that's in thee;
And likewise by thy fear…ull wrath sore troubled all are wee.
8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee: our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.
8 Before thee our iniquities were also set by thee,
In light ev'n of thy countenance our sins that secret be.
9 For all our dayes are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our yeers as a tale that is told.
9 For in thy wrath our dayes away are passd all to an end,
And like unto a tale that's told so we our years do spend.
10 The dayes of our years are threescore yeers and ten, and if by reason of strength they be fourscore yeers:
10 The dayes of all our yeers threescore and ten years are, we see:
And if by reason of great strength ev'n fourscore yeers they be;
Yet is their strength labour and sorrow: for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
Yet is their strength both labour hard, and sorrow every way,
For it is very soon cut of, and we do slie away.
11 Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath.
12 So teach us to number our dayes, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdome.
11 Who of thine anger knows the power? thy wrath is as thy fear:
12 Teach us to count our dayes, t'apply our hearts to wisedome near.
13 Return (O Lord) how long? and let it …pent thee concerning thy servants.
…3 Do thou return to us, O Lord, how long to wrath so bent?
Concerning those thy servants all now let it thee repent.
14 O satisfie us early with thy mercy, that we may rejoice and be glad all our dayes.
14 O with the mercies that are thine us early satisfie,
That we rejoice and glad also for all our dayes may be.
15 Make us glade according to the dayes wherein thou hast afflicted us: and the yeares wherein we have seen evill.
15 Make thou us glad according to the dayes we griev'd have been:
And als according to the yeers wherein we ill have seen.
16 Let thy work appear unto thy servants: …nd thy glorie unto their children.
17 And let the beautie of the Lord our God be upon us.
16 Thy servants and their children let thy work and glory see
17 And let ev'n of the Lord our God the beauty on us be.
And establish thou the work of our hands upon us: yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.
Do thou upon us of our hands the work establish now;
Yea and the work that's of our hands establish it do thou.

HE that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High, shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

Lest thou should dash at unawars thy foot against a stone.
13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample underfeet.

The Dragon trample under feet thou shalt and lion yong.
14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my Name.
14 I him deliver will, because he set his love on me:
I will him set on high because, that known my name hath he.
15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him, and honour him.
15 Hee'l call on me, I'le answer him, I will in trouble still
Be with him, I'le deliver him and honour him I will.

16 Yea with a life that is prolong'd I will him satisfy,
And also my salvation unto him shew will I.

The world is also stablished that it can not depart:
2 Of old thy throne is fix'd, and thou from everlasting art.

Have lifted up; the floods their waves do list up with a noise.
4 The Lord on high is mightier then the noise of many waters: yea, then the mighty waves of the sea.
4 Then many waters noise the Lord is mightier on hie,
Yea more then the most mighty waves that are within the sea.

And holinesse thy house, O Lord, becometh ev'n for ever.
