God our refuge-Psalm 90

Lord God, you have been our refuge. A strong source of everlasting grace;
Each day, you richly bless us. You shine upon the bright beams from your face.
From time everlasting, by your people, you are thanked and praised;
To you O God, the joyful songs of the redeemed are forever being raised.

Before all things, you existed. From everlasting to everlasting, you are God;
You are worshiped by the saints in heaven, and by those on earth who trod.
With your mighty hand, and in your image, you created man from the earth;
With the blast of your nostrils, you breathed into him, and gave him birth.

Time goes forth like a mighty wind. Time Time changes quickly from day to night;
Time to you, is like one day.A thousand years is but one day in you in your sight.
Man's life is but short. He is here for a time, then he is swept away like grass;
Though time for us is short, You O' God, shall endure and last.

In our journey, teach us to have wisdom so that we may number our days;
Lead us daily, and through your Spirit, guide us in all our ways.
O God, do not forsake us. Save and preserve us from sorrow and misery;
We ask you to look down upon and show us your mercy.

Shine down upon us O' God, your blessings that you send down from above;
Satisfy us in the morning with your presence and with your love.
That we may be glad and that we may be joyful for all our days;
Fill our mouths so that we shall be able to break forth with praise.

May your great deeds that you have shown to your servants, declare your glory;
Gladden our hearts with your presence. Open our ears to hear your story.
Support us daily, cause us to be strong. Give us the strength to stand;
Establish us, yes, establish us by the power of your mighty hand.
