From Psalms for Praying: An Invitation to Wholeness (Nan C. Merrill).

Psalm 90

Eternal and Immortal One, You have been
our refuge in all generations.

Before the mountains were brought forth,
before You formed the earth and
the world from
everlasting to everlasting.

You are the Alpha and the Omega.

When our days on Earth are ended

You welcome us home to your Heart,
to the City of Light,
where time is eternal
and the days are not numbered.

You gather those who love You as
friends returning from a long
journey,
giving rest to their souls.

You anoint them with the balm of
understanding,
healing wounds of the past.

For our days on Earth are a mystery,
a searching for You,
a yearning for the great Mystery
to make itself known.

The years pass and won the
Harvest is at hand,
a time to reap the fruit of
one’s life.

Who has lived with integrity?
Who will reflect the Light
Who can bear the radiant beams
of Love?

Who have reverenced the Counselor,
and opened their hearts to the
Spirit of truth?

Teach us, O Beloved to honor each day
that we may have a heart
of wisdom.

Awaken us, O Holy One! Too long
have we been asleep!
Have mercy on your people!

Help us to wait in Silence listening
for your gentle Voice;
Strengthen us with courage to
face the fears within.

O, that we might be converted in
our hearts
and walk together in peace and
harmony!

Let your Love be known to the nations,
your Glory to our children’s
children.

Let the grace and gentleness of the
Holy Spirit be upon us,
guiding our feet upon paths
of Love Consciousness

Increase the Light with us –
O Beloved, hear our prayer!
Amen.
