89. Continued. God was angry with His chosen king and broke His agreement with him. The city was destroyed and his enemies rejoiced. The kingdom was broken. He asked God to remember them before death, because life is short. He asked God to remember them and the way they were treated by their enemies.
Book 4
90. Eternal God and Mortal Man. A prayer of Moses, the man of God. Moses proclaimed the existence of God before anything. A thousand years is like yesterday to God. He sweeps men away in the sleep of death, like grass which grows new in the morning and by evening it is dead. Moses lamented that they were doomed to die before reaching the promised land because they had broken God's covenant. Moses asked God for wisdom to be given them while they lived, even if their lives were short. He asked God to help them to be grateful for the time they did have to live and not take it for granted. He asked for God's blessings.
91. The Security of the Godly. Live under God's protection by trusting in Him and He will save you from peril. You will have no need to fear what can harm you. God is your fortress and He will protect you from calamities which befall the wicked. (Verses 11&12 are spoken by Satan when he tries to tempt Jesus in Luke 4:10&11.) You will overpower lions and snakes.
Tomorrow read Psalms 91:14-94:16
