You shall keep them, O Lord, You shall preserve them from this generation forever.

There they are in great fear, For God is with the generation of the righteous.

The counsel of the Lord stands forever, The plans of His heart to all generations.

I will make Your name to be remembered in all generations; Therefore the people shall praise You forever and ever.

Mark well her bulwarks; Consider her palaces; That you may tell it to the generation following.

Their inner thought is that their houses will last forever, Their dwelling places to all generations; They call their lands after their own names.

He shall go to the generation of his fathers; They shall never see light.

You will prolong the king’s life, His years as many generations.

Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O God, do not forsake me, Until I declare Your strength to this generation, Your power to everyone who is to come.

They shall fear You As long as the sun and moon endure, Throughout all generations.

If I had said, “I will speak thus,” Behold, I would have been untrue to the generation of Your children.

We will not hide them from their children, Telling to the generation to come the praises of the Lord, And His strength and His wonderful works that He has done.

That the generation to come might know them, The children who would be born, That they may arise and declare them to their children,

And may not be like their fathers, A stubborn and rebellious generation, A generation that did not set its heart aright, And whose spirit was not faithful to God.

So we, Your people and sheep of Your pasture, Will give You thanks forever; We will show forth Your praise to all generations.

Will You be angry with us forever? Will You prolong Your anger to all generations?

Psalms 90–106

The Eternity of God, and Man’s Frailty

A Prayer of Moses the man of God.

Lord, You have been our dwelling place in all generations.

For forty years I was grieved with that generation, And said, ‘It is a people who go astray in their hearts, And they do not know My ways.’

For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting, And His truth endures to all generations.

But You, O Lord, shall endure forever, And the remembrance of Your name to all generations.

This will be written for the generation to come, That a people yet to be created may praise the Lord.
