Our Dwelling Place

A prayer of Moses the man of God.

Lord, you have been 

  our dwelling place 

    throughout all generations. 

Before the mountains were born 

  or you brought forth the whole world,

    from everlasting to everlasting 

      you are God. 

You turn people back to dust, 

  saying, "Return to dust, you mortals." 

Our days may come to seventy years,  

  or eighty, if our strength endures; 

yet the best of them are but 

  trouble and sorrow, 

    for they quickly pass, 

      and we fly away.

Teach us to number our days, 

  that we may gain a heart of wisdom.

                              - Psalm 90:1-3,10,12

Whoever dwells 

  in the shelter of the Most High 

    will rest in the shadow 

      of the Almighty.

I will say of the LORD, 

  "He is my refuge and 

      my fortress, 

    my God, in whom I trust." 

                              - Psalm 91:1-2

Don't you know that 

  you yourselves 

    are God's temple 

  and that God's Spirit 

    dwells in your midst?

                              - 1 Corinthians 3:16
