Psalms 90 Cross References - ACV

¹ Lord, thou have been our dwelling-place in all generations. ² Before the mountains were brought forth, or thou had ever formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou are God. ³ Thou turn man to destruction, and say, Return, ye sons of men. ⁴ For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night. ⁵ Thou carry them away as with a flood. They are as a sleep. In the morning they are like grass which grows up. ⁶ In the morning it flourishes, and grows up. In the evening it is cut down, and withers. ⁷ For we are consumed in thine anger, and in thy wrath are we troubled. ⁸ Thou have set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance. ⁹ For all our days are passed away in thy wrath. We bring our years to an end as a sigh. ¹⁰ The days of our years are threescore years and ten, or even by reason of strength fourscore years, yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, for it is soon gone, and we fly away. ¹¹ Who knows the power of thine anger, and thy wrath according to the fear that is due to thee? ¹² So teach us to number our days, that we may get us a heart of wisdom. ¹³ Return, O LORD. How long?

And establish thou the work of our hands upon us, yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.

Is it not in that thou go with us, so that we are separated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth? ¹⁷ And LORD said to Moses, I will do this thing also that thou have spoken, for thou have found favor in my sight, and I know thee by name. ¹⁸ And he said, Show me, I pray thee, thy glory. ¹⁹ And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and will proclaim the name of LORD before thee. I will be merciful to whom I may be merciful, and I will be compassionate to whomever I may be compassionate.

¹⁰ Therefore I was angry with that generation, and said, They are always led astray in their heart, and they did not know my ways. ¹¹ So I swore in my wrath, They will not enter into my rest.

¹⁷ But with whom was he angry forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?

²¹ For his eyes are upon the ways of a man, and he sees all his goings.

¹¹ He says in his heart, God has forgotten. He hides his face. He will never see it.

¹² Who can discern his errors? Clear thou me from hidden faults.

²¹ These things thou have done, and I kept silence. Thou thought that I was altogether such a one as thyself. But I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.

¹ O LORD, thou have searched me, and known. ² Thou know my sitting down and my rising up. Thou understand my thought afar off. ³ Thou search out my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways. ⁴ For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou know it altogether.

²⁴ Can any man hide himself in secret places so that I shall not see him? says LORD. Do I not fill heaven and earth? says LORD.

¹ During which time the myriads of the multitude having gathered together so as to trample each other, he began first to say to his disciples, Take heed to yourselves from the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. ² But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known.

¹⁶ in a day when God judges the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my good news.

⁵ Therefore do not judge anything before the time, until the Lord comes who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and make public the deliberations of the hearts. And then praise will come to each man from God.

¹² For the word of God is living, and potent, and sharper, above every two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division both of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and discernible of the thoughts and intentions of the heart. ¹³ And there is no creature concealed from his presence, but all things are naked and vulnerable to his eyes, before whom is the word to us.

²⁰ Because if our heart should condemn us, that God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.

³⁵ I am this day eighty years old. Can I discern between good and bad? Can thy servant taste what I eat or what I drink? Can I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women? Why then should thy servant be yet a burden to my lord the king?

¹ Now king David was old and stricken in years, and they covered him with clothes, but he did not get warm.

¹⁰ But man dies, and is laid low. Yea, man gives up the spirit, and where is he?

²⁴ They are exalted. Yet a little while, and they are gone. Yea, they are brought low. They are taken out of the way as all others, and are cut off as the tops of the ears of grain.

³⁹ And he remembered that they were but flesh, a wind that passes away, and comes not again.

² before the sun, and the light, and the moon, and the stars, are darkened, and the clouds return after the rain, ³ in the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those who look out of the windows shall be darkened, ⁴ and the doors shall be shut in the street, when the sound of the grinding is low, and he shall rise up at the voice of a bird, and all the daughters of music shall be brought low, ⁵ yea, they shall be afraid of height, and terrors shall be in the way, and the almond tree shall blossom, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail, because man goes to his everlasting home, and the mourners go about the streets, ⁶ before the silver cord is loosed, or the golden bowl is broken, or the pitcher is broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern, ⁷ and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.

¹² My dwelling is removed, and is carried away from me as a shepherd's tent. I have rolled up, like a weaver, my life. He will cut me off from the loom. From day even to night thou will make an end of me.

²⁰ But God said to him, Thou foolish man, they demand thy soul from thee this night, and the things that thou prepared, whose will they be?

¹⁴ men who know not of the morrow. For what is your life? For it will be a vapor that appears for a little while, and then also vanishes away-

¹⁸ And if for these things ye will not yet hearken to me, then I will chastise you seven times more for your sins.

²¹ And if ye walk contrary to me, and will not hearken to me, I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins.

²⁴ then I also will walk contrary to you, and I will smite you, even I, seven times for your sins.

²⁸ then I will walk contrary to you in wrath, and I also will chastise you seven times for your sins.

⁵⁹ then LORD will make thy calamities extraordinary, and the calamities of thy seed, even great calamities and of long continuance, and severe sicknesses and of long continuance.

²⁰ LORD will not pardon him, but then the anger of LORD and his jealousy will smoke against that man, and all the curse that is written in this book shall lie upon him, and LORD will blot out his name from under heaven. ²¹ And LORD will set him apart to evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that is written in this book of the law. ²² And the generation to come, your sons who shall rise up after you, and the foreigner who shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the calamities of that land, and the sicknesses with which LORD has made it sick. ²³ The whole land of it is brimstone, and salt, a burning. It is not sown, nor bears, nor any grass grows in it, like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which LORD overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath, ²⁴ even all the nations shall say, Why has LORD done thus to this land? What is the meaning of the heat of this great anger? ²⁵ Then men shall say, Because they forsook the covenant of LORD, the God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, ²⁶ and went and served other gods, and worshiped them, gods that they knew not, and that he had not given to them. ²⁷ Therefore the anger of LORD was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curse that is written in this book. ²⁸ And LORD rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as at this day. ²⁹ The secret things belong to LORD our God, but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our sons forever, that we may do all the words of this law.

⁷ Thou, even thou, are to be feared. And who may stand in thy sight when once thou are angry?

¹⁴ The sinners in Zion are afraid. Trembling has seized the profane. Who among us can dwell with the devouring fire? Who among us can dwell with everlasting burnings?

⁶ Who can stand before his indignation? And who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? His wrath is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken apart by him.

⁵ But I will show you whom ye should fear. Fear him, who, after killing, has power to cast into hell. Yes, I say to you, fear ye him.

¹¹ Having seen therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men. But we have been manifested to God, and I hope also to have been manifested in your consciences.

¹⁷ Because the great day of his wrath has come, and who is able to stand?

²⁹ Oh that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!

²⁸ And to man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, and to depart from evil is understanding.

⁴ LORD, make me to know my end, and the measure of my days, what it is. Let me know how frail I am.

² so as to incline thine ear to wisdom, and apply thy heart to understanding, ³ yea, if thou cry after discernment, and lift up thy voice for understanding, ⁴ if thou seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures, ⁵ then thou shall understand the fear of LORD, and find the knowledge of God. ⁶ For LORD gives wisdom. Out of his mouth is knowledge and understanding.

¹³ Happy is the man who finds wisdom, and the man who gets understanding. ¹⁴ For the gain of it is better than the gain of silver, and the profit of it than fine gold. ¹⁵ She is more precious than rubies, and none of the things thou can desire are to be compared to her. ¹⁶ Length of days is in her right hand, in her left hand are riches and honor. ¹⁷ Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. ¹⁸ She is a tree of life to those who lay hold upon her. And happy is everyone who retains her.

⁵ Get wisdom, get understanding. Do not forget, nor decline from the words of my mouth.

⁷ Wisdom is the principal thing. Get wisdom, yea, with all thy getting get understanding.

¹ My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee. ² Keep my commandments and live, and my law as the apple of thine eye. ³ Bind them upon thy fingers. Write them upon the tablet of thy heart. ⁴ Say to wisdom, Thou are my sister, and call understanding thy kinswoman,

³² Now therefore, ye sons, hearken to me. For blessed are those who keep my ways. ³³ Hear instruction, and be wise, and do not refuse it. ³⁴ Blessed is the man who hears me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors. ³⁵ For he who finds me finds life, and shall obtain favor of LORD. ³⁶ But he who sins against me wrongs his own soul. All those who hate me love death.

¹⁶ How much better it is to get wisdom than gold! Yea, to get understanding is rather to be chosen than silver.

¹ He who desires to separate himself seeks excuses, and rages against all sound wisdom. ² A fool has no delight in understanding, but only that his heart may reveal itself.

¹⁷ Incline thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thy heart to my knowledge.

¹² Apply thy heart to instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge.

²³ Buy the truth, and do not sell it, yea, wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.

¹⁰ Whatever thy hand finds to do, do with thy might, for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in Sheol, where thou go.

³⁵ Let your loins be girded about, and the lights burning, ³⁶ and be ye like men waiting for their lord, when he may return from the wedding festivities, so that when he comes and knocks, they may straightaway open to him. ³⁷ Blessed are those bondmen whom the lord when he comes will find watching. Truly I say to you, that he will gird himself, and will cause them to sit down, and having come, will serve them. ³⁸ And if he should come in the second watch, and should come in the third watch, and find so, blessed are those bondmen. ³⁹ But know this, that if the house-ruler had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have allowed his house to be broken into. ⁴⁰ Therefore, ye also become ready, because the Son of man comes at that hour ye do not suppose.

⁴ I must work the works of him who sent me while it is day. Night comes when no man can work.

¹⁶ redeeming the time, because the days are evil. ¹⁷ Because of this do not become foolish, but understanding what is the will of the Lord.

¹² Why should the Egyptians speak, saying, He brought them forth for evil, to kill them on the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and relent of this evil against thy people.

¹⁴ And LORD relented of the evil which he said he would do to his people.

³⁶ For LORD will judge his people, and regrets for his servants, when he sees that their power is gone, and there is none remaining, shut up or left at large.

³ My soul also is greatly troubled. And thou, O LORD, how long? ⁴ Return, O LORD, deliver my soul. Save me for thy loving kindness' sake.

¹⁰ How long, O God, shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme thy name forever?

¹⁴ Turn again, we beseech thee, O God of hosts. Look down from heaven, and, behold, and visit this vine,

⁴⁶ How long, O LORD? Will thou hide thyself forever? Shall thy wrath burn like fire?

⁴⁵ And he remembered his covenant for them, and relented according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.

¹⁴ For LORD will judge his people, and will relent concerning his servants.

¹⁵ And it shall come to pass, after I have plucked them up, I will return and have compassion on them. And I will bring them again, each man to his heritage, and each man to his land.

⁸ How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? How shall I cast thee off, Israel? How shall I make thee as Admah? How shall I set thee as Zeboiim? My heart is turned within me. My compassions are kindled together.

¹³ And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn to LORD your God, for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and relents of the evil. ¹⁴ Who knows whether he will not turn and relent, and leave a blessing behind him, even a meal offering and a drink offering to LORD your God?

³ LORD relented concerning this. It shall not be, says LORD.

⁶ LORD relented concerning this. This also shall not be, says the lord LORD.

⁹ Who knows whether God will not turn and relent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we not perish?

¹⁶ Therefore thus says LORD: I have returned to Jerusalem with mercies. My house shall be built in it, says LORD of hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth over Jerusalem.

⁶ Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of LORD forever.

⁷ I will be glad and rejoice in thy loving kindness, for thou have seen my affliction. Thou have known my soul in adversities,

⁷ How precious is thy loving kindness, O God, and the sons of men take refuge under the shadow of thy wings. ⁸ They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house, and thou will make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.

³ Because thy loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee. ⁴ So I will bless thee while I live. I will lift up my hands in thy name. ⁵ My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness. And my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips

⁴ Blessed is the man whom thou choose and cause to approach, that he may dwell in thy courts. We shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, thy holy temple.

⁶ Will thou not revive us again, that thy people may rejoice in thee?

⁴ Rejoice the soul of thy servant, for to thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.

³ who forgives all thine iniquities, who heals all thy diseases, ⁴ who redeems thy life from destruction, who crowns thee with loving kindness and tender mercies, ⁵ who satisfies thy desire with good things, and thy youth is renewed like the eagle.

² Let Israel rejoice in him who made him. Let the sons of Zion be joyful in their King.

¹⁵ Thus says LORD: A voice is heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping. Rachel weeping for her children, she refused to be comforted for her children, because they are not.

¹⁷ For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! Grain shall make the young men flourish, and new wine the virgins.

⁴ Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice.

⁵ For his anger is but for a moment. His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy is in the morning.

⁵ Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy. ⁶ He who goes forth and weeps, bearing seed for sowing, shall doubtless come again with joy, bringing his sheaves.

¹ And in that day thou shall say, I will give thanks to thee, O LORD, for though thou were angry with me. Thine anger is turned away and thou comfort me.

¹ Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, says your God. ² Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry to her, that her warfare has been completed, that her iniquity is pardoned, that she has received of LORD's hand double for all her sins.

³ to appoint to those who mourn in Zion, to give to them a garland for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness, that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of LORD, that he may be glorified.

¹⁸ But be ye glad and rejoice forever in that which I create. For, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy. ¹⁹ And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people. And there shall no more be heard in her the voice of weeping and the voice of crying.

¹² And they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow to the goodness of LORD, to the grain, and to the new wine, and to the oil, and to the young of the flock and of the herd. And their soul shall be as a watered garden, and they shall not sorrow any more at all. ¹³ Then the virgin shall rejoice in the dance, and the young men and the old together, for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.

⁴ Blessed are those who mourn, because they will be comforted.

²⁰ Truly, truly, I say to you, that ye will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. Ye will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will become into joy.

¹⁴ And I said to him, My lord, thou know. And he said to me, These are those coming out of the great tribulation, and they washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. ¹⁵ Because of this they are before the throne of God, and they serve him day and night in his temple. And he who sits on the throne will dwell among them. ¹⁶ They will hunger no more, nor will they thirst any more. The sun will, no, not fall upon them, nor any heat. ¹⁷ Because the Lamb in the midst of the throne will tend them, and will lead them to fountains of waters of life. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.

¹⁵ Now if thou shall kill this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying, ¹⁶ Because LORD was not able to bring this people into the land which he swore to them, therefore he has slain them in the wilderness. ¹⁷ And now, I pray thee, let the power of the Lord be great, according as thou have spoken, saying, ¹⁸ LORD is slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and that will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons, upon the third and upon the fourth generation. ¹⁹ Pardon, I pray thee, the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of thy loving kindness, and according as thou have forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now. ²⁰ And LORD said, I have pardoned according to thy word, ²¹ but in very deed, as I live, and as all the earth shall be filled with the glory of LORD, ²² because all those men who have seen my glory, and my signs, which I wrought in Egypt and in the wilderness, yet have challenged me these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice, ²³ surely they shall not see the land which I swore to their fathers, neither shall any of them who despised me see it. ²⁴ But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and has followed me fully, him will I bring into the land into which he went, and his seed shall possess it.

³⁰ surely ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I swore that I would make you dwell in it, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun. ³¹ But your little ones, that ye said would be a prey, them I will bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have rejected.

³⁹ Moreover your little ones, who ye said would be a prey, and your sons, who this day have no knowledge of good or evil, they shall go in there, and I will give it to them, and they shall possess it.

⁴ The Rock, his work is perfect, for all his ways are justice, a God of faithfulness and without iniquity, just and right is he.

²² Then ye shall let your sons know, saying, Israel came over this Jordan on dry land. ²³ For LORD your God dried up the waters of the Jordan from before you, until ye were passed over, as LORD your God did to the Red Sea, which he dried up from before us, until we were passed over, ²⁴ that all the peoples of the earth may know the hand of LORD, that it is mighty, that ye may fear LORD your God forever.

¹⁴ And, behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth. And ye know in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not one thing has failed of all the good things which LORD your God spoke concerning you. All have come to pass to you; not one thing has failed of it.

¹ We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou did in their days, in the days of old.

¹² I will meditate also upon all thy work, and muse on thy doings.

⁴ For thou, LORD, have made me glad through thy work. I will triumph in the works of thy hands.

² O LORD, I have heard the report of thee, and am afraid. O LORD, revive thy work in the midst of the years. In the midst of the years make it known. In wrath remember mercy.

²⁸ Thou shall also decree a thing, and it shall be established to thee. And light shall shine upon thy ways.

⁴ One thing I have asked of LORD, that I will seek after, that I may dwell in the house of LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of LORD, and to inquire in his temple.

² Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God has shone forth.

²⁸ Thy God has commanded thy strength. Strengthen, O God, that which thou have wrought for us.

³ Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.

⁷ Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.

³ Thy people offer themselves willingly in the day of thy power, in holy array. Out of the womb of the morning thou have the dew of thy youth.

²⁵ Save now, we beseech thee, O LORD. O LORD, we beseech thee, send now prosperity.

³ Commit thy works to LORD, and thy purposes shall be established.

¹² LORD, thou will ordain peace for us, for thou have also wrought all our works for us.

⁷ So then neither is he who plants anything, nor he who waters, but God who causes growth.

¹⁸ But we all, with unveiled face seeing by reflection the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same likeness from glory to glory, just as from the Spirit of the Lord.

¹⁶ And may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and our God and Father who loved us and gave eternal encouragement and good hope through grace,

² Beloved, now we are children of God, and it is not yet made known what we will be. But we know that whenever he is made known we will be like him, because we will see him as he is.
