Psalm 90

Psalm 90

Book IV of the Psalms begins with Psalm 90, a prayer of Moses. Praising God as the everlasting One and acknowledging the shortness of their lives, the worshipers ask that God would teach them, have pity on them, satisfy them with His love, make them rejoice and be glad, show them His work and power, and establish the work of their hands.

To sing this Psalm we used the setting written by Sandra McCracken (©2016 Drink Your Tea Music).
