PSALM 90 A DWELLING PLACE IN ALL GENERATIONS
Lord, you have been our dwelling place in all generations.
2 Before the mountains were brought forth,
or ever you had formed the earth and the world,
from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.
3 You return man to dust and say, “Return, O children of man!”
4 For a thousand years in your sight are but as yesterday when it is past,
or as a watch in the night.
5 You sweep them away as with a flood; they are like a dream,
like grass that is renewed in the morning:
6 in the morning it flourishes and is renewed;
in the evening it fades and withers.
7 For we are brought to an end by your anger;
by your wrath we are dismayed.
8 You have set our iniquities before you,
our secret sins in the light of your presence. – Psalm 90:1-8

A poem inspired by this psalm by ILMA
Who can give us a place to experience comfort and peace?
If you remember to be still and know that the Lord is God,
Then you have been made aware of his dwelling place
The Lord is our refuge, strength, shield and our shelter
He made us in his image, so we can serve only him
We were all made to praise and give him glory.
Give praise, honor to a majestic God who is faithful
Put your hope in the Lord who is your defender and Savior
Remember how short your life is; live for Jesus Christ alone
Have a hopeful attitude when you wait for his return
Be watchful that you do not displease or anger him
Follow his laws and hunger for his word so you can avoid sin.

REFLECTION
• How is God a dwelling place for all generations as mentioned in verse 1?
• Why is it important to run to God for shelter when we are faced with troubles?
