Psalm 90 (Live in the help of the Most High) MP3

From the book of Archpriest Valentin Biryukov (Psalm 90):

In 1977, in Samarkand, I witnessed another case of amazing healing after prayers.

One day a mother brought two daughters to me, one of them suffered from seizures.

Father, perhaps you know how to cure Olya? She was completely tormented by seizures - she was beaten twice a day.

Is your daughter baptized? - I ask.

But what about - baptized.

Well, does she wear a cross?

Father. How can I tell you? Yes, only two weeks since they put a cross on her.

I shook my head: what kind of Christian is without a cross? It's like a warrior without a weapon. Completely defenseless. I started talking to them. He advised me to confess and take communion, and to read the 90th Psalm - “Alive in the help of the Most High” - 40 times every day.

Three days later this woman came with two daughters - Olya and Galya. They confessed, took communion and began to read Psalm 90 40 times daily, as I advised them (my parents taught me this prayer rule). And - a miracle - only two days later the whole family read the 90th Psalm before Olya stopped having seizures. We got rid of a serious illness without any hospitals. Shocked, my mother came to me and asked how much money was needed “for the work.”

“What are you doing, mommy,” I say, “it wasn’t me who did it, it was the Lord.” You see for yourself: what the doctors could not do, God did as soon as you turned to him with faith and repentance.

Another case of healing is associated with Psalm 90 - from deafness.

An elderly man named Nikolai came to our Ascension Church in Novosibirsk. He began to complain about grief:

Father, I have trouble hearing for a long time, since the 4th grade of school. And now it has become completely unbearable. In addition, both the liver and stomach hurt.

Do you keep fasts? - I ask him.

No, what kind of posts are there! At work, whatever they feed me, that’s what I eat.

It was the fifth week of Lent.

“Nicholas,” I tell him, “before Easter, eat only Lenten food and read “Alive in the Help of the Most High” 40 times daily.

After Easter, Nikolai comes in tears, and takes his brother Vladimir with him.

Father, God save you. At Easter they sang “Christ is Risen” - but I couldn’t hear it. Well, I think the priest said - fast, God will help, but as I was deaf, I remain deaf! As soon as I thought that, it was as if the plugs had popped out of my ears. Immediately, in an instant, I began to hear normally.

This is what fasting means, this is what prayer means. This is what it means to read “Alive in the Help of the Vyshnyago”, without any doubt. We really need pure, repentant prayer - more food and water. If the water in the glass is cloudy, we won’t drink it. So the Lord wants us to pour out not muddy, but pure prayer from our souls, and expects pure repentance from us. And for this we are now given both time and freedom. There would be zeal.

A lot of sick people come to the temple. I give advice to everyone - to confess your sins, take communion and read the 90th Psalm 40 times every day (“Alive in the help of the Most High”). This prayer is very powerful. My grandfather, father and mother taught me to pray this way. We read this prayer at the front - and there were such miracles with God’s help! I advise those who are sick to read this prayer as a memory. This prayer has special power to protect us.

My grandfather Roman Vasilyevich loved to pray. I knew many prayers by heart. He often read prayers over the possessed: Psalm 90, “To the King of Heaven” and others. I believed that holy prayers could help anyone, even the sickest person. Probably in his childish way pure faith and the Lord gave him such a gift that he knew in advance when the demoniac would be brought to him. They would bring him into the hut, tied hand and foot, and the grandfather would read the prayers, sprinkle him with holy water - and the man who had just been screaming and raving, became calm, and immediately slept for 2 hours after the grandfather’s prayers.

It was grandfather Roman Vasilyevich who taught me how best to read the 90th Psalm - “Alive in the help of the Most High.” 40 times daily, and for sick people, especially those possessed by demons, it is better to read this psalm by heart. I have been convinced many times of the great power of this prayer if prayed with faith and contrition.

Psalm 90: text of the prayer and why it is read

Anyone who has heard at least once about “Psalm 91” (the text of the prayer will be given below) has probably wondered: why is it read? Psalm number 90 is a prayer endowed with enormous power: it can protect from all manifestations of evil and negativity, from unkind people, from evil spirits.

The ninetieth psalm is the strongest amulet. This prayer exhibits its protective properties not only when it is directly pronounced. The function of the amulet “Psalm 90” is well preserved when written by hand on a piece of paper, a piece of leather or fabric. If you carry this “letter” close to your body, it will protect you from any misfortunes and misfortunes, accidents, ill-wishers and enemies, magical and other types of energy influence from the outside.

Mention of “Psalm 90” is found even in the Gospel (Matthew – 4:6; Luke – 4:11). While the Savior was fasting for 40 days in the desert, Satan tempted him. In order not to succumb to demonic machinations, Christ read the 11th and 12th verses of this prayer.

In Western Christianity, the ninetieth psalm is read or sung during evening service, in the Middle Ages it was a mandatory part of readings on Good Friday.

The Eastern Church uses prayer at funerals and memorial services, and “Psalm 90” is an indispensable part of the 6th hour service.

“Psalm 90”: text of prayer

“Psalm 90” is recommended to be read on Church Slavonic language, although there are also translations of the prayer into modern Russian. The reason lies in the fact that during translation it is impossible to convey with absolute accuracy deep meaning and the content of the prayer text, its key idea.

In Church Slavonic, “Psalm 90” reads as follows:

IN synodal translation In modern Russian, the text of the prayer “Psalm 90” is as follows:

From the history of the origin of the prayer “Psalm 90”

“Psalm 90” originates from the biblical book “Old Testament: Psalms” - there it comes under number 90 (hence the name). However, in Masoretic numbering it is assigned the number 91. In the Christian religion, this prayer is also known by its first words: na Latin– “Qui habitat”, in Old Church Slavonic (Church Slavonic) – “Alive in help.”

Regarding the origin of “Psalm 90,” researchers are of the opinion that its authorship belongs to the prophet David. He wrote it in honor of his deliverance from a three-day pestilence. This prayer is also called the “Song of Praise of David” - under this name it appears in the Greek Psalter.

Contents and main ideas of the prayer “Psalm 90”

“Psalm 91” is one of the most powerful prayers. The text of the psalm is permeated with the idea that the Lord is the protector and reliable refuge of all those who believe in him. He convinces us that a person who sincerely believes in God with all his heart may not be afraid of any danger. “Psalm 90” conveys the idea that faith in the Most High has irresistible power. Elements of prophecy can also be found in prayer - it points to the coming of the Savior, who is the most important protector of any believer.

“David's Song of Praise” is distinguished by expressive poetic language. It has its own clear structure. It can be roughly divided into three parts:

1. The first part is verses one and two.
2. The second part is verses three to thirteen.
3. The third part is verses fourteen to sixteen.

Interpretation of the prayer “Psalm 90”

Unfortunately, not everyone understands “Psalm 90” without full interpretation. If we analyze each verse of the prayer, we get the following:

The Lord hears everyone who says the prayer “Psalm 90” and never refuses his help. God is merciful, therefore he often helps a person who has sinned a lot in his life, if he, when reading a prayer, turns to the Lord with deep and sincere faith in his heart, with trust in Him.

As a child, my mother always gave me a piece of paper with Psalm 90 written on it. At the time, of course, I didn’t understand what it was for, but now I made the same amulet for my children, only on a piece of cotton fabric, and sewed it into their clothes so that they would always be protected Gentlemen.

Thank you! I'll make the same amulet for myself. There will be a move to another country and a flight. I'm terribly afraid of flying on airplanes, panic is already starting...

Hello! My son drinks heavily.

Hello, Elena! If a son drinks, prayer is not always enough; it has long been clear that without the person himself recognizing the problem, it is difficult to help him. As far as I know, there is a prayer to St. Nicholas the Saint and others; you need to ask the priest who to pray for this.

Hello. Your son must want to stop drinking himself, he must have a DESIRE to get rid of alcohol addiction. Pray. Ask “Lord, in the name of Jesus Christ, I ask you to help your son get rid of alcohol addiction, give your son the strength to fight satanic temptations.” Something like this. Prayer is the cry of your soul. With God!

Your son should pray too. It is best if you two pray together, you say the prayer first, and then your son. The Bible says ( New Testament) “Where two or three are gathered in My name, there I am in the midst of them” (Matt. 18:20).

Can I get a tattoo on the back of this amulet?

Tattooing is considered a sin. Consult with a priest. After all, it is said that it works if you write it yourself by hand, only then will it work.

And where can I find a copy of the original in Latin?

Don't anger God. God sent the test, endure it

This is my favorite psalm, it really helps.

In my opinion, you need to read a prayer in a language that you know well and understand well what is said in this prayer. But in Old Church Slavonic, breaking your tongue and not understanding the meaning of prayer, you are unlikely to convey your prayers to the Lord God. And being constantly distracted and correcting your pronunciation is also not good.

He who lives under the roof of the Most High, under the shadow of the Almighty, rests, says to the Lord: “My refuge and my defense, my God, in whom I trust!” He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, from the fatal plague, He will cover you with His feathers, and you will be safe under His wings; shield and fence - His truth. You will not be afraid of the terrors in the night, the arrow that flies by day, the plague that stalks in the darkness, the plague that devastates at noon. A thousand shall fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you: you will only look with your eyes and see the retribution of the wicked. For you said: “The Lord is my hope”; You have chosen the Most High as your refuge; no evil will befall you, and no plague will come near your dwelling; for He will command His angels about you - to guard you in all your ways: they will carry you in their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone; you will step on the asp and basilisk; You will trample on the lion and the dragon. “Because he loved Me, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he has known My name. He will call to Me, and I will hear him; I am with him in sorrow; I will deliver him and glorify him, I will satisfy him with long days, and I will show him My salvation.”

You need to say a prayer in the temple in front of the Face of Christ or at home in front of the iconostasis. The prayer book must be baptized in Orthodoxy and wear a cross on the body - the main symbol of the Orthodox faith.

Important! The main protective prayer is often read to free the mind from bad, sinful thoughts. Therefore, if a person feels that he is ready to break one of the Commandments of God, then it is urgent to read Living in the Help of the Most High.

This is one of the reasons why you need to know the text by heart, because at any moment you may need support from Heaven.

Living in the help of the Most High, he will settle in the shelter of the Heavenly God.

Says the Lord: Thou art my Protector and my Refuge, my God, and I trust in Him.

Yako Toy will deliver you from the snare of the trap, and from rebellious words.

His cloak will overshadow you and you will hope under His wing: His truth will surround you with weapons.

Do not be afraid from the fear of the night, from the arrow flying in the days.

From things that pass away in the darkness, from clots and the midday demon.

Thousands will fall from your country, and darkness will fall at your right hand; he won't come close to you.

Look at your eyes and see the reward of sinners.

For You, O Lord, are my hope. You have made the Most High your refuge.

Evil will not come to you. And the wound will not come close to your body.

As His Angel commanded you, keep you in all your ways.

For I have trusted in Me, and I will deliver; I will cover, and because I have known My name.

He will call to Me, and I will hear him: I am with him in sorrow, I will destroy him, and I will glorify him.

I will fill him with long days, and show him My salvation.

The Lord is a Lover of Mankind, with faith in His help you can not be afraid of danger, because the Power of the Lord is great!

Why this text is read is clear from its content, as well as from the explanations of the first followers of Jesus. Its text can be found in the Gospels of Luke and Matthew. It states that these verses are spoken by believers who are subject to devilish temptation. The fact is that at all times a person has to face serious trials. For the most part.

Interpretation of Psalm 90

1. Living in the help of the Most High, he will settle in the shelter of the Heavenly God.

Archbishop John: “Alive. The shortest super prayer. From one word, equal to the prayer “Rise up. “One of the powerful names: “I am the living God, the bringer of life.” The most powerful super-prayer against the fear of death and devilish spells. “Alive in the help of Vyshnyago. ” - a dazzling super-prayer of the highest warriors, equal to “May God rise again!” (67:1). Alive - restored!! 50 porphyry-bearing spectra. 50 military banners. 50 all-conquering cries. 50 triumphant glory from this one “alive!” The devil is trampled. And let’s say: it’s done!

The strategist and generalissimo sees victory in advance. We can put an end to this “live” alone. If the Most High, and only He, is alive, then what else? The darkness was exposed, and the old devilry with its fallen worlds collapsed in ruins.

Under the pressure of circumstances, a hail of arrows - alive. From the hymn “alive” wings grow. On the bed of weakness, p.

Blazh. Theodoret writes: “This psalm teaches that the power of trust in God is irresistible: for blessed David, seeing from afar with his spiritual eyes what was to happen with blessed Hezekiah and, having seen how he, in hope of God, destroyed the army of the Assyrians, wrote this psalm as an instruction people about how many benefits trust in God brings.”

“As a powerful weapon against demons, the 90th Psalm has been tested by many generations of Christians,” testifies Hieromonk Job (Gumerov).

1 He who lives in the help of the Most High will dwell in the shelter of the Heavenly God.

2 Says the Lord: Thou art my Advocate and my refuge, my God, and I trust in Him.

3 For He will deliver you from the snare of the trap and from the speech of rebellion,

4 His cloak will cover you, and you will trust under His wing; His truth will surround you with weapons.

5 Thou shalt not be afraid from the fear of the night, from the arrow that flies in the days,

6 from things in darkness.

In general, of course, to say that this psalm is from alcoholism, and this one is from drug addiction, but this one is from smoking is not entirely correct.

It is important to understand that all psalms, when you read them for yourself or for someone else, greatly protect you from evil spirits. And when we read psalms of praise and when we read psalms of repentance, in general, different psalms.

Meanwhile, if abuse arises against a person and demons especially arm themselves, then it is very good to read the psalms, especially those filled with petitions from evil spirits. And these psalms are for various ailments, including alcoholism. After all, an unhealthy craving for alcohol is also a passion. What kind of psalms are these?

Firstly, this is Psalm 90. Those. you can read Psalm 90 and after each reading do a special reading for yourself or for loved one. This is very, very effective! And there is nothing wrong if you read the psalms constantly, if you don’t let them leave your tongue. After all, many ascetics have been engaged in this prayer work before, and they did not do it just for a while.

F.L. Rawson, an outstanding engineer and one of the greatest scientists in England, author of the book “Consciousness of Life,” talks about an amazing incident in the history of one English regiment during the 2nd World War.

Under the command of Colonel Whittlezy, the regiment did not lose a single soldier during 5 years of hostilities. Achieving this incredible result was possible thanks to the fact that officers and soldiers regularly recited and repeated the words of the 90th Psalm, called the “Psalm of Protection,” from memory.

Through constant repetition of the truths contained in Psalm 90, the soldiers in Colonel Whittlesey's regiment came to feel as if they were being protected by an Uneclipsed Presence. Through constant repetition of the Psalm, faith and hope, these truths penetrated into their subconscious minds, bringing into it an inner conviction of constant Divine protection.

The ninetieth psalm has great power, this prayer is a powerful defense against.

After all, a conspiracy or prayer is a kind of sound code in which every word, every letter, and even stress and intonation is important. Adjusting ancient texts to modern rules of writing and pronunciation changes the sound code to such an extent that a prayer or spell “becomes different from itself” and loses its power.

Psalm 90 – the best defense

Reading Psalm 26, 90 in Russian is also very effective. In this way, a person comes to understand the words that he pronounces. This makes his prayer more sincere. Psalm 90, created long before the Nativity of Christ, is one of the most popular prayers. Many Orthodox believers have a story that is associated with an amazing deliverance from any danger or misfortune with the help of the prayer “Alive in Help.” The protective power of this prayer has nothing to do with superstition. You need to know the prayer by heart, it is advisable to read it before leaving home and before going on a long journey.

Illustrative examples of the power of Psalm 90

Known amazing stories from life about how this prayer protects a person.

During the First World War, a British regiment fought under the command of Colonel Whittelsey. During the four years that the war lasted, not a single soldier died in this regiment. This happened because all the military men, having memorized the text, regularly repeated the words of the 90th Psalm; they called it “On Defense.”

Another case from a later time, which was told by a Soviet Afghan officer. During his conscription into the army, his mother asked him to take a small icon on which was the prayer of Psalm 90 and said that if it was difficult, let him read it three times. He was sent to Afghanistan, where he was a reconnaissance company commander. The usual trips to the rear of the dushmans, ambushes on caravans with weapons, but one day they themselves were ambushed. They were surrounded on all sides. The soldiers were dying, there was almost no ammunition left. He saw that they would not survive. Then he remembered his mother’s words; the small icon always lay in his breast pocket. He took it out and began to read a prayer. And then a miracle happened: he suddenly felt that it had become very quiet, as if he had been covered with an invisible blanket or cap. He managed to gather the survivors, and they made a breakthrough and escaped the encirclement without losing anyone. After that, he believed in God and the power of prayer, read it before every foray behind enemy lines, fought until the end of the war, and returned home without a single scratch.

But why is it recommended to read it exactly 40 times? The fact is that this number is magic. For exactly 40 days of fasting, Jesus himself repeated the lines of this prayer. Therefore, such a number of repetitions will undoubtedly help a person.

Moreover, the powerful protective properties of the psalm are manifested not only when reading it.

Original text:

Living in the help of the Most High, he will settle in the shelter of the Heavenly God. Says the Lord: Thou art my Protector and my Refuge, my God, and I trust in Him. For He will deliver you from the snare of the trap, and from rebellious words, His splash will overshadow you, and under His wing you hope: His truth will surround you with weapons. Do not be afraid from the fear of the night, from the arrow that flies during the day, from the thing that passes in the darkness, from the cloak, and from the demon of the midday.

He will call to Me, and I will hear him: I am with him in sorrow, I will destroy him, and I will glorify him, I will fill him with long days, and I will show him My salvation.

Adapted, in Russian:

He who lives under the roof of the Most High, under the shadow of the Almighty, rests, says to the Lord: “My refuge and my defense, my God, in whom I trust!”

He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, from the fatal plague, He will cover you with His feathers, and you will be safe under His wings; shield and fence - His truth.

You will not be afraid of the terrors in the night, the arrow that flies by day, the plague that stalks in the darkness, the plague that devastates at noon.

A thousand shall fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you: you will only look with your eyes and see the retribution of the wicked.

For you said: “The Lord is my hope”; You have chosen the Most High as your refuge; no evil will befall you, and no plague will come near your dwelling; for He will command His angels about you - to guard you in all your ways: they will carry you in their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone; you will step on the asp and basilisk; You will trample on the lion and the dragon.

“Because he loved Me, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he has known My name.

He will call to Me, and I will hear him; I am with him in sorrow; I will deliver him and glorify him, I will satisfy him with long days, and I will show him My salvation.”

Real life story: Nina moved to another department of the store to replace her friend. A friend went on sick leave, so Nina had to work in the new team for at least a couple of weeks. On the first day, the girl had a severe headache, and in the evening she felt incredibly weak. Although he always works in a similar mode, just in a different department.

This psalm has the following inscription: The praise of David's songs is not written by the Jews. And in the Psalter published by the Russian Bible Society, translated from the Hebrew language, it has the following inscription: “David’s Song of Praise,” to which the inscription of the Vulgate corresponds, i.e. Bible in Latin, without added words: not inscribed with Jew, but simply: “laus cantici David XC”, i.e. "David's song of praise." All this indicates that in the ancient Jewish collection of psalms no inscription was placed over the 91 Greek translation LXX interpreters, and was introduced, of course, not spontaneously, but on the basis of the ancient traditions of the Old Testament Church that reached the godly publishers, who attributed the composition of this psalm to David.

The peculiarity of this psalm is the rapid change of faces expressing their thoughts and feelings. Here either the prophet expresses his thoughts about the righteous man who lives in complete hope in God (vv. 1–2), or, turning to the righteous man, he reassures him with the blessings that are poured out on the one who trusts in God (vv. 3–8, 10–13) , or speaks on behalf of this righteous man, completely devoted to the will of God (vv. 2,9), or on behalf of God Himself, expressing His favor to the righteous man (vv. 14-16).

Some of the interpreters see in this psalm a general, abstract poetic image of a righteous man, in which all cases of deliverance are taken by the psalmist completely arbitrarily, without any historical relation, and who goes as much to David as to Hezekiah, and to any other righteous man. Others point out in him such features that almost all remarkably suit the face of the pious king of Judah Hezekiah and the circumstances of his time. Whoever is familiar with the history of this Hezekiah, it is absolutely clear that in the indicated image of the righteous man we have a poetic image of this story. In view of the clear similarity of the presented image of the righteous man with the story of Hezekiah, already Bl. Theodoret, who generally attributed all the psalms to David, recognized Psalm 90 as a prophecy of David about Hezekiah.

He who lives in the help of the Most High will dwell in the shelter of the Heavenly God, says to the Lord: You are my intercessor and my refuge, my God, and I trust in Him.

The not entirely clear meaning of the sayings of verse 1, according to the Church Slavonic translation, becomes clear when reading other translations. So, translated from Hebrew it reads: “He who lives under the cover of the Most High (in the shelter of the Heavenly God) rests in the shadow of the Almighty”; and translated from Latin it reads like this: “Whoever lives with the help of the Most High (Allissimr) will remain in the protection of the Heavenly God. He will say to the Lord: You are my protector and my refuge: my God, I will trust in Him.” This expresses, on the one hand, complete devotion to the will God's man relying on no one else but God, and on the other hand, the complete security of the one who is in close communion with the Heavenly God, under His strong protection. In prayer he turns to God alone and boldly says to Him: You are my protector and You alone are my refuge; and not only in prayer, but also before others confesses: He is my God and in Him I trust.

For He will deliver you from the snare of the trap and from rebellious words: His lashes will overshadow you, and under His wing you will hope: His truth will surround you with weapons.

Here the prophet, turning his speech to the one most protected by God, says that the Lord God will deliver you from the net of the fowler (bird catcher or trapper, from the trap network) and from any hostile word that could lead you into confusion ( rebellious at words), in general from any slander and conspiracy against you. He will cover you, will overshadow or protect you as if with his shoulders ( His splash will overshadow you), and you will have hope that under His protection you will remain safe ( and under the krill you hope). In the first expression, the image of speech is borrowed from those warriors who, during battle, stand in the front ranks and cover those behind them with their shoulders, and in the second expression, the similarity is taken from birds who cover their chicks with their wings. Thus, the psalmist’s thought can be expressed this way: the almighty power of God will protect you, and, being under the protection of Divine care, you will be completely safe. Herself true God will surround you on all sides weapons. Under by the truth of God One must understand here God's fidelity to the promises: He promises His help to all those who trust in Him, and really gives it. According to the translation from Hebrew, the last speech is expressed as follows: “His truth is a shield and a fence.”

Do not be afraid from the fear of the night, from the arrow that flies during the day, from the thing that passes in the darkness, from the debris and the demon of the midday.

Many people are susceptible fear at night time, with threatening danger, and sometimes without any danger at all, with just the idea of ​​danger, due to the surrounding darkness. Some, in addition, brought up in various superstitions, experience some kind of unaccountable fear during so-called “meetings”. Although such superstitions about “meetings” are not universal and not acceptable to everyone, nevertheless they have always existed, one might say, from ancient times, and therefore they cannot be ignored. The psalmist, as if representing all such cases fear, calms a person who is under the protection of God, telling him: protected by the power of God, you will not be afraid of any dangers, neither obvious nor secret, neither day nor night, you will not have nightly fear, you will not be afraid and arrows flying during the day. You'll get rid of from any(hostile) things, which happens at night ( transient in darkness), from a dangerous “meeting” and from any accident unexpected during “meetings” ( from cartilage, i.e. from everything that happens to us accidentally), and from the evil spirit that attacks at noon. Under the name noon demon of course evil spirit, on a clear day or at noon causing harm to a person various kinds harm from illness, such as pestilence and infection. Others, by the name of the midday demon, mean the heat of the sun, which burns intensely in Palestine and is deadly to travelers. And blzh. Jerome, in agreement with this, meant the pestilence, known in the East, or the deadly wind, called Samum.

Thousands will fall from your country, and darkness will be at your right hand, but it will not come close to you: behold, behold your eyes and see the reward of sinners.

Dangers threaten people from all sides. On the one side thousand, or as translated from Hebrew: “A thousand and darkness will fall near you.” right hand yours" ( and darkness at your right hand), i.e. and thousands, and tens of thousands, and countless numbers of enemies will attack you, but they will not touch you ( won't come close to you). Or this: if a thousand enemies attack you on one side, and ten thousand or countless numbers on the other, then even then none of them will come close to you or destroy you. And you will not only not suffer any harm from the attacking wicked, but on the contrary, you will only look with your own eyes, and you yourself will see their reward from the Lord ( Behold your eyes and see the reward of sinners). So it was with the pious king of Judah Hezekiah. When Sennacherib, the king of Assyria, attacked him with a large army and besieged Jerusalem, then Hezekiah prayerfully cried out to the Lord God, placing all his trust in Him. And the Lord soon delivered Hezekiah from the terrible danger that threatened him, defeating in one night the entire large (185 thousand) army of the Assyrians ().

For You, O Lord, are my hope: You have made the Most High your refuge.

Trusting in God and always living in the help of the Almighty he says to himself with pleasure: You, Lord, are all my hope and support ( for you, O Lord, are my hope) and having said so, you have chosen one Most High ( you put it) your refuge, says the psalmist.

Evil will not come to you, and wound will not approach your body: as His angel commanded you, keep you in all your ways. They will lift you up in their arms, but not when you dash your foot on a stone: you step on an asp and a basilisk and cross a lion and a serpent.

Here in verse 10, instead of the words: telesi to yours, – you need to read: your village, as this place was corrected in the footnote in the new (since 1890) editions of the Bible and Psalms, in accordance with the translation from the Hebrew, as well as the Greek and Vulgate (“village, dwelling,” Greek, Lat. tabemaculuni), And again the prophet continues to speak about the Providence of God, which protects a person who is completely devoted to Him, saying this: after you have chosen God as your refuge, no evil will come to you, and no blow will reach your dwelling (village) ( and the wound will not come near your body). And then he indicates the direct, immediate reason for such salvation from disaster or threatening evil: God, in whom you have placed all your trust, will send His angels and command them ( His angels commandment about you), to protect you in all your affairs ( keep you in all your ways). They, these angels, at the command of God, will take you, so to speak, into their arms and will support you so as not to trip your foot on a stone ( not when you dash your foot against a stone), i.e. so that you do not fall into temptation when you encounter any temptation on the path of moral life. In a word leg, says St. Athanasius of Alexandria, means “soul”, and in the word stone- "sin" . Verse 13, translated from the Hebrew, reads: “You will tread on the lion and the adder, you will trample the skimn and the dragon.” Asp, basilisk and dragon, although unknown to us, these are the most terrible snakes. This is how they are described in the famous “Interpretation of the Psalms of Palladius, Bishop of Sarapul.” “The writer of everyday life calls the venom of the asp “incurable” (); due to his ferocity, he resists all “spells” (); no less scary basilisk (spectacled snake): his fiery eyes have dangerous influence on animals; its poison is fatal, and an animal stung by it dies soon; by invincible power and, as it were, by the power of life and death over other animals, basilisk in ancient times it was a symbol of terrible, royal power. Dragon(boa constrictor, or boa) is the largest of all serpents, up to 30 or 40 feet long (about 12 m. - Red.), swallows people, bulls and oxen; due to his terrible power, he portrays himself as the “devil” (). Lion's power ( skimna) is known". The sayings of this verse, like the previous ones, express the idea that, being protected by angels, you will repel the attacks of the most terrible enemies: you will be safe, harmless step on the asp and basilisk, you will trample(overcome) lion and dragon. These animals, as the most terrible, serve as an image of imminent danger or worst enemies. Here the idea is figuratively expressed that for a person protected by angels, nothing at all, even the most terrible, can be dangerous.

For I have trusted in Me, and I will deliver, and I will cover, and because I have known My name. He will call to Me, and I will hear him: I am with him in sorrow, I will overcome him and glorify him: I will fill him with long days and show him My salvation.

After reassuring the righteous man with comforting words about the angels sent by God to protect him from various troubles and misfortunes, the prophet introduces God Himself speaking about the righteous man in the following expressions: because he trusted in Me ( for I trust in Me), then I will deliver him and hide him from danger. And because he knew and believed in Me ( for I know my name), i.e. He served and worshiped me alone, not recognizing other gods. I will always help him and listen to his prayer ( I'll hear him). If any sorrow befalls him, then I will be with him in the sorrow ( I am with him in sorrow), I will deliver him ( I'll hate him) from all sorrowful and difficult circumstances, and I will not only deliver, but also I will glorify him, i.e. and I will direct the most unfortunate circumstances to his prosperity and glory. I will do for him what I once did for the long-suffering righteous Job, or what I did for the pious king of Judah Hezekiah. By the length of the days I will fulfill it, i.e. he will receive a long life on earth and will be honored with the eternally blissful life of the next century.

Today I would like to remind and talk about the protective properties of Psalm 90. Its text is often used as a prayer for protection. Moreover, the powerful protective properties of the psalm are manifested not only when reading it. If you write text by hand on a piece of paper Psalm 90 and keep this paper with your body, it turns into a powerful amulet against troubles, accidents, enemies, magicians, any energy and other harmful influences from the outside. Below, read a real-life example of how this amulet works.

PRAYER GUARD: PSALM 90

Copy the text onto paper, leather or fabric - any natural material. The resulting amulet should be worn on the body - in the pocket of underwear, in underwear (for example, bras often have push-up pockets - you can stuff them there), or you can sew them to the lining. In general, figure out for yourself how to make sure that the text of the Psalm is always with you, preferably with your body. (That is, not in a bag somewhere nearby. Although even this option is better than not defending yourself at all). Original text:

Living in the help of the Most High, he will settle in the shelter of the Heavenly God. Says the Lord: Thou art my Protector and my Refuge, my God, and I trust in Him. For He will deliver you from the snare of the trap, and from rebellious words, His splash will overshadow you, and under His wing you hope: His truth will surround you with weapons. Do not be afraid from the fear of the night, from the arrow that flies during the day, from the thing that passes in the darkness, from the cloak, and from the demon of the midday. Thousands will fall from your country, and darkness will fall at your right hand, but it will not come close to you, otherwise you will look at your eyes, and you will see the reward of sinners. For You, O Lord, are my hope, You have made the Most High your refuge. Evil will not come to you, and wound will not approach your body, as His Angel commanded you to keep you in all your ways. They will lift you up in their arms, but not when you dash your foot on a stone, step on an asp and a basilisk, and cross a lion and a serpent. For I have trusted in Me, and I will deliver, and I will cover, and because I have known My name. He will call to Me, and I will hear him: I am with him in sorrow, I will destroy him, and I will glorify him, I will fill him with long days, and I will show him My salvation.

Adapted, in Russian:

He who lives under the roof of the Most High, under the shadow of the Almighty, rests, says to the Lord: “My refuge and my defense, my God, in whom I trust!”

He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, from the fatal plague, He will cover you with His feathers, and you will be safe under His wings; shield and fence are His truth.

You will not be afraid of the terrors in the night, the arrow that flies by day, the plague that stalks in the darkness, the plague that devastates at noon.

A thousand shall fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you: you will only look with your eyes and see the retribution of the wicked.

For you said: “The Lord is my hope”; You have chosen the Most High as your refuge; no evil will befall you, and no plague will come near your dwelling; for He will command His angels about you - to guard you in all your ways: they will carry you in their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone; you will step on the asp and basilisk; You will trample on the lion and the dragon.

“Because he loved Me, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he has known My name.

He will call to Me, and I will hear him; I am with him in sorrow; I will deliver him and glorify him, I will satisfy him with long days, and I will show him My salvation.”

Real life story: Nina moved to another department of the store to replace her friend. A friend went on sick leave, so Nina had to work in the new team for at least a couple of weeks. On the first day, the girl had a severe headache, and in the evening she felt incredibly weak. Although he always works in a similar mode, just in a different department.

Writing off the malaise as temporary, she took some painkillers and went to bed. The next day everything happened again. And the next one too.

In the department, the girl worked in tandem with the boss. She met with her before - once a week. And here we had to work side by side every day.

Nina remembered that as a child, her mother always gave her the handwritten text of Psalm 90. And intuitively she made herself such a talisman again, putting it in her jeans pocket.

Then strange things began to happen. Arriving at work, Nina felt surprisingly good - there was no headache, loss of strength or depression. And when the boss, always cheerful and energetic, came in holding her temple and asked for a pill for her head, it was hard for Nina not to believe in the help of higher powers.

This is a common everyday story. And there are those where such a talisman saved life, well-being, and health in general. Take care of yourself and your loved ones with God's help.
