90 1 Moses in his prayer setteth before us the eternal favor of God toward his, 3 who are neither admonished by the brevity of their life, 7 nor by his plagues to be thankful, 12 therefore Moses prayeth God to turn their hearts, and continue his mercies toward them and their posterity forever.
A prayer of Moses, [a]the man of God.
1 Lord, thou hast been our [b]habitation from generation to generation.
2 Before the [c]mountains were made, and before thou hadst formed the earth, and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting thou art our God.
3 Thou [d]turnest man to destruction: again thou sayest, Return ye sons of Adam.
4 [e]For a thousand years in thy sight are as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
5 Thou hast [f]overflowed them, they are as a sleep, in the morning he groweth like the grass:
6 In the morning it flourisheth and groweth, but in the evening it is cut down and withereth.
13 Return (O Lord, [a]how long?) and be [b]pacified toward thy servants.
14 Fill us with thy mercy in the morning: so shall we rejoice and be glad all our days?
15 Comfort us according to the days that thou hast afflicted us, and according to the years that we have seen evil.
16 [c]Let thy work be seen toward thy servants, and thy glory upon their [d]children.
17 And let the [e]beauty of the Lord our God be upon us, and [f]direct thou the work of our hands upon us, even direct the work of our hands.
44 ¶ Then Moses came and spake all the words of this song in the audience of the people, he and [a]Hoshea the son of Nun.
45 When Moses had made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel,
46 Then he said unto them, (A)Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify against you this day, that ye may command them unto your children, that they may observe and do all the words of this Law.
47 For it is no [b]vain word concerning you, but it is your life, and by this word ye shall prolong your days in the land, whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.
39 (A)Search the Scriptures: for in them ye think to have eternal life, and they are they which testify of me.
40 But ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
41 I receive not the praise of men.
42 But I know you, that ye have not the [a]love of God in you.
43 I am come in my Father’s Name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him will ye receive.
44 How can ye believe, which receive (B)honor one of another, and seek not the honor that cometh of God alone?
45 [b]Do not think that I will accuse you to my Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.
46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he (C)wrote of me.
47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words.
