In the old days, every Russian person knew this psalm by heart and read it when any danger or threat arose. And today, many people know this protective prayer by heart, and even more carry its text with them - in their pocket or purse and, if necessary, read or have a consecrated belt with the words of the psalm, etc.

Interpretation of Psalm 90

For a deeper and broader understanding of the meaning of Psalm 90, we will cite its interpretation based on the books of Euthymius Zigaben "Explanatory Psalter" and A. Lopukhin "Explanatory Bible".
The main idea and essence of Psalm 90: hope in God has an irresistible force. St. Theodoret says: this psalm teaches that the power of trust in God is irresistible; for the blessed David wrote this psalm to instruct people about how many blessings trust in God brings. Anyone who lives by faith and hope in God will find in him a protector who saves from all the misfortunes and evils of life. This psalm prophetically points to the coming of Christ, who is the protector closest to man. Explain each verse of the psalm.

1. Whoever has the help given by God will be kept under the protection of God. By the help of God, one must understand, according to St. Athanasius. the law of divine commandments, given by the Lord to people to help against demons and other misfortunes.
2. Having great firm faith, a person says to the Lord: “My refuge and my protection; My God, only in You do I trust and hope.”
3. God will deliver "from the net of the povcha" - a sudden physical attack on the body or a demonic attack in the form of an unexpected appearance of lust or other sinful passion. He will also deliver "from the word rebellious" - slander that produces rebellion in the soul of the slandered.
4. He will overshadow you with his feathers, and under his wings you will be safe; a shield and a fence are His truth. That is, the Lord will protect you with the same precautionary love with which a mother hen takes her children under her wings, where they feel completely safe. This is because "His truth" will be your guardian. Since God loves the truth, He will protect the one who is true before Him.
5, 6. You, a person who lives in the help of God, will not be afraid of the fear that happens at night from demons, or from people (thieves, robbers, arsonists of houses); you will not be afraid of arrows and shots that strike the body; you will not be afraid of mental arrows with which demons and passions strike. “Things that pass in darkness,” fornication, adultery, the demon of passion, and the like; and the “noonless one” is a demon of laziness and carelessness, corrupting people in their midday rest with the temptations of vile and carnal thoughts.
7. A thousand arrows will fall to your left and ten thousand arrows to your right, but you will not be harmed. A thousand on the left is a direct temptation to sins; ten thousand on the right is an attack by demons in order to counteract our righteous charitable deeds. This verse has numerous confirmations in biblical history (a vivid example is the victory of King Ezekiah in the war against the attacked Assyrians, who had much superior forces), as well as at the present time.
8. With God's help, you will see with your own eyes the retribution of the wicked who are at enmity against you.
9. Therefore, there will be such a strong defense from God that you have relied on God with all your heart and mind and have chosen Him as your refuge.
10. Since you have made God your refuge, “evil will not come to you,” i.e., no temptation (trouble) will strike you. “And the wound will not come near your body” - everything bodily will be protected, and your house from fire and robbery, and your body from illness.
11. For the Lord will command his angels about you to guard you in all your ways. God, through angels, guards those who trust in Him.
12. They will carry you in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. The hands of the Angels - the essence of the guarding power - will support during temptations and difficult circumstances, so that your foot does not stumble on a stone. Under the stone is meant every sin and every obstacle to virtue.
13. Asp and basilisk - genera of poisonous snakes (basilisk - spectacle snake). A man who has God as a guide in everything does not scary Poisonous snakes and large predatory animals, they do not harm him, which is confirmed by the numerous lives of the saints. In this verse, by snakes and beasts, the holy fathers also mean victory over evil in general. Under the asp one can understand slander; the basilisk is envy both on the part of someone, and its own personal envy of someone; the lion is cruelty and inhumanity. Such passions are conquered by the righteous and receive no harm from them.
14. Since a man trusts in God, therefore He delivers him from every danger. The name of God is known not to the one who knows who God is in general, but to the one who behaves in relation to God worthy of God, demonstrating this dignity in the diligent fulfillment of the commandments and the will of God.
15. He who trusts in God will cry out to him in danger, and He will hear, and come to help, and free him, as He helped many martyrs in suffering. And not only liberates, but also glorifies in earthly and eternal life. Of course, he who trusts in God will not ask for anything unworthy, contrary to God's truth.
16. This verse means that the Lord rewards the one who trusts in God and strives to live according to His will with eternal life, and can also prolong and earthly life for the natural timing of death, which is also a lot of evidence.

Thus, when reading the “Alive in Help” prayer, God hears everyone and responds like a loving father to help his son or daughter. The help and protection of the Lord is a reward, which is usually the greater, the more a person deserves it before Him. But God does not act strictly according to the principle: “as much as you are for me, so much for me”.

Therefore, the Lord often helps a sinful person, who at the moment of conversion has only great faith and hope in God's help. Helps in the hope of strengthening faith and love in the future.

But people who try to live by God's commandments, also do not have a guarantee in God's protection during conversions in danger. The Lord can allow for admonishment dark forces attacking them for sins they could well have avoided. Such admonishment becomes clear to a person, and he straightens his crooked path. And also to allow an attack on those righteous, for whom troubles and sorrows are tests for the strengthening and growth of the spirit.

These tests are given according to the strength of a person and for his good. In each specific case, God's providence is not known in advance, and it is not given to people to know it. The ways of the Lord are truly inscrutable, but philanthropic.

Psalm 90 with emphasis

Alive in the help of the Most High, in the blood of the God of Heaven will settle.
The Lord says: Thou art my intercessor and my refuge, my God, and I trust in Him.
Yako Toy will deliver you from the net of the stalker, and from the word is rebellious,
pleshma - His own fall over you, and under His wings you hope: His truth will be your weapon.
Do not be afraid of the fear of the night, from the arrow flying in the days,

from a thing in the darkness of the transient, from a stubble, and a midday demon.
A thousand will fall from your country, and darkness will be at your right hand,
it will not come close to you, both look with your eyes, and see the retribution of sinners.
As you are the Lord, my hope, the Most High has laid your refuge.
Evil will not come to you, and the wound will not come near to your body,
as if by His Angel I commanded about you, keep you in all your ways.
They will take you on their hands, but not when you stomp your foot on a stone, step on the asp and the basilica,
and cross the lion and the snake.
As if I trusted in Me, and I will deliver you: I will cover you, because I will know My name.
He will call to Me, and I will hear him: I am with him in sorrow, I will crush him and glorify him,
I will fulfill him with length of days, and show him My salvation.

How to read Psalm 90 (audio)

Psalm 90 (translation into modern Russian)

He who lives under the shelter of the Most High under the shadow of the Almighty rests, says to the Lord: “My refuge and my protection, my God, in whom I trust!” He will deliver you from the snare of the catcher, from the deadly sore, with his feathers he will overshadow you, and under his wings you will be safe; a shield and a fence are His truth. You will not be afraid of terrors in the night, of an arrow flying by day, of a plague that walks in darkness, of a pestilence that devastates at noon. A thousand will 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; evil will not happen to you, and the plague will not come near your dwelling; for he will command his angels about you to guard you in all your ways: they will lift you up in their hands, lest you strike your foot against a stone; you step on an asp and a basilisk; you will trample on the lion and the dragon. “Because he loved Me, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he knows 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 life, and I will show him My salvation.”

How we help 90 Psalm

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

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

A mother once brought me two daughters, one of them suffered from seizures.

- Father, perhaps you know how to cure Olya? She was completely tortured by seizures - they beat her twice a day.
- Is your daughter baptized? - I ask.
- And how - baptized ...
- Well, does she wear a cross?
Mom hesitated:
- Father ... How can I tell you ... Yes, only two weeks since they put a cross on her.

I shook my head: what is a Christian 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, every day 40 times to read the 90th psalm - "Alive in the help of the Most High."

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

- What are you, mommy, - I say, - it's not I did, it's the Lord. You can 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 connected with the 90th psalm - from deafness.

An elderly man named Nikolai came to our Ascension Church in Novosibirsk. Began to complain of grief:
- Father, I can't hear well, for a long time already, since the 4th grade of school. And now it has become completely unbearable. In addition, both the liver and the stomach hurt.
- Do you keep the posts? I ask him.
- No, what posts are there! At work, what they feed me is 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 with tears, and takes his brother Vladimir with him.
- Father, God save you! .. At Easter they sang “Christ is Risen” - but I can’t hear it. Well, I think the father said - fast, God will help, but as I was deaf, I remained so deaf! I just thought so - right there it was as if plugs popped out of my ears. Immediately, in an instant, I began to hear normally.

That's what fasting means, that's what prayer means. This is what it means to read “Alive in the help of the Most High,” without any doubt. We really need a pure, repentant prayer - more food and water. There will be cloudy water in a glass - we will not drink it. So the Lord wants us not to be cloudy, but pure prayer poured out from their souls, expects pure repentance from us... And for this we are now given both time and freedom. It would be zeal.

A lot of sick people come to the temple. I give advice to everyone - confess your sins, take communion and read the 90th psalm (“Alive in the help of the Most High”) 40 times every day. 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 keepsake. 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 demon-possessed: the 90th psalm, "To the King of Heaven" and others.

He believed that holy prayers could help anyone, even the most sick person. Probably by his childishly pure faith and the Lord gave him such a gift that he knew in advance when the demoniac would be brought to him. They will bring him to the hut bound hand and foot, and the grandfather will read prayers, sprinkle with holy water - and the person who had just screamed and raged became calm, immediately slept for 2 hours after grandfather's prayers.

HOW PSALM 90 WAS WRITTEN AND WHAT IT MEANS

Among researchers, it is believed that the text of this psalm, which begins with the words “Living in help”, was compiled by King David regarding salvation from a three-day pestilence, therefore it is also called David's laudatory song. In this instructive psalm, the prophet teaches that faith in God is the best protection from all evil and from demonic attacks. Those who love God with their hearts and trust in His protection may not be afraid of various dangers.

The ninetieth psalm is a very strong prayer for help, which, based on centuries of experience, will help to protect from any troubles and evil. He to ak strong weapon on demons, the 90th psalm has been tested by many generations of Christians"(Hieromonk Job (Gumerov).

Even the words of Satan, during the temptations of the Savior, prove to us how effective the words of the 90th psalm are against him. After His Baptism, the Lord Jesus Christ retired to the wilderness for prayers for forty days, and there the devil began to tempt the Savior. One of the temptations was: if you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written:

He will command his angels about you, and they will lift you up in their hands, lest you strike your foot against a stone” (Matthew 4:6).

« To their angels...”- these are the words from the ninety psalm and, Satan would hardly have repeated them if they were not so strong in the fight against him.

EXPLANATION AND BRIEF INTERPRETATION OF PSALM 90

Ps.91:1-2 Alive in the help of the Most High, dwelling in the blood of the God of Heaven, he says to the Lord: Thou art my intercessor and my refuge, my God, and I trust in Him.
Alive in the help of the Most High- whoever hopes and trusts in the help of the Almighty, He will patronize him. The believer in the Lord says to the Lord: You are my intercessor and my refuge: my God, I will hope in Him.
In this verse in question about a person's devotion to the will of God, the hope for His protection and therefore, for calmness and confidence in one's safety.

Ps.91:3-4 Yako Toy will deliver you from the network of slyness and from the word of rebelliousness: His splash will overshadow you, and under His wings you hope: his truth will be your weapon.
The Lord God delivers from any network, from any evil that can lead to confusion ( from the word rebellious). He will cover you from troubles ( His splash will overshadow you) and give a sense of calm and security ( and under his wings you hope).
The truth of God will surround you on all sides and will be like a weapon. The truth here is loyalty to the Lord, He promises His help, and those who want to receive it will definitely receive it.

Ps.91:5-6 Do not be afraid of the fear of the night, from the arrow flying in the days, from the thing in the darkness of the transient, from the scum and the demon of the noonday.
Night darkness is an image of fears, danger. The psalmist convinces a person that one who is under God's protection does not need to be afraid of night terrors or arrows " flying in the days". You will be protected from every (hostile) thing that happens at night ( in the darkness of the transient), and from various accidents, surprises during “meetings” (from scurry, i.e. from what happens by accident), from evil spirits that can attack at noon (in broad daylight).

Ps.90:7-8 A thousand will fall from your country, and the darkness at your right hand will not come close to you: both look at your eyes and see the reward of sinners. And thou art.
If a thousand enemies attack on one side and ten thousand (or more) on the other, then in this case they will not be able to approach you. They will not harm you and you yourself, with your own eyes, will see how the Lord will punish them for this ( both look at your eyes and see the retribution of sinners).
The biblical story describes how the Jewish king Hezekiah, being surrounded by the enemy, cried out to the Lord God and received protection from Him - 185 thousand Assyrian troops were defeated in one night (2 Chron.32).

Ps.90:9 As You, O Lord, are my hope: Thou hast made thy refuge the Most High.
You, Lord, are all my hope and support ( as you, O Lord, are my hope), says the psalmist. You have chosen one Almighty ( put thou) your refuge.

Ps.90:10-13 Evil will not come to you, and the wound will not approach your body: as if by Your angel the commandment about you, save you in all your ways. They will take you in their hands, but not when you stumble your foot on a stone: step on the asp and the basilisk and cross the lion and the serpent.
The word "telesi" here is translated as a village, dwelling. Therefore, the prophet put the following meaning into these words: after you believe in God and choose Him as your Protector, no evil will approach your dwelling. After all, the Lord sends His angels and commands them ( command your angels about you), so that they always protect you, in all matters ( save you in all your ways).
In case of danger, the Angels will support you so that you do not stumble over an obstacle, as one stumbles over a stone ( but not when you strike your foot on a stone). And more deep meaning of this saying is that the angels will be guards from various temptations on your way.
"You will step on a lion and an asp, you will trample on the skin and the dragon." Asp, basilisk and dragon were considered the most terrible snakes. In the interpretation of the Bishop of Sarapulsky there is a description that the poison of the asp is very strong and it is difficult to neutralize it even with the most strong spells. The basilisk (spectacled snake) has fiery eyes, very dangerous for animals, they literally paralyze, its poison is deadly for them. In ancient times, the basilisk was often a symbol of terrible, royal power.
The serpent, dragon (or boa constrictor) is the largest of all serpentine, its length is more than 10 meters. He can swallow a man or even a bull, he is often compared with the devil in his strength. The lion has always been revered as the strongest, the king of beasts.

But, even despite such great dangers that these animals symbolize, a person who is under God's protection will repel the attacks of any enemies and defeat the most terrible evil.

Ps.90:14-16 For I have trusted in Me, and I will deliver, and I will cover, and, as I know My name. He will call to Me, and I will hear him: I am with him in sorrow, I will crush him and glorify him: I will fulfill him with long days and show him My salvation.
Further, the prophet speaks on behalf of God: after a person began to trust in Me (as if I trust in me), then I will deliver him and hide him from troubles and dangers. And for the fact that he began to believe in me ( for knowing my name), I will not leave him unprotected. And, if any trouble befalls a person, I will be next to him in this trouble ( I am with him in sorrow), spare him ( izmu him) from it, and even I will glorify him. Those. even difficult circumstances The Lord will turn to prosperity and glory.
I will fulfill it with long days - believer and loving god, will be rewarded long life on earth and the bliss of the life of the age to come.

Psalm 90 is such a prayer. In the old days, every Russian person knew this psalm by heart and read it when any danger and threat arose. And today, many people know this protective prayer by heart, and even more carry its text with them - in their pocket or purse and, if necessary, read or have a consecrated belt with the words of the psalm, etc. She has saved and is saving so many today. Otherwise, she would not be so revered by the people. At present, when a person's life is becoming more and more difficult and dangerous, we need the prayer "Alive in help" even more. Unfortunately, some know and have a psalm translated from Church Slavonic into modern Russian. There are various translations that significantly distort and impoverish the meaning of the text. Here is the text of the prayer in Church Slavonic, in which it is recommended to read it.

This psalm prophetically points to the coming of Christ, who is the protector closest to man. Explain each verse of the psalm.

1. Whoever has the help given by God will be kept under the protection of God. By the help of God, one must understand, according to St. Athanasius. the law of divine commandments, given by the Lord to people to help against demons and other misfortunes.

2. Having great firm faith, a person says to the Lord: “My refuge and my protection; My God, only in You do I trust and hope.

3. God will deliver "from the net of the povcha" - a sudden physical attack on the body or a demonic attack in the form of an unexpected appearance of lust or other sinful passion. He will also deliver "from the word rebellious" - slander that produces rebellion in the soul of the slandered.

4. He will overshadow you with his feathers, and under his wings you will be safe; a shield and a fence are His truth. That is, the Lord will protect you with the same precautionary love with which a mother hen takes her children under her wings, where they feel completely safe. This is because "His truth" will be your guardian. Since God loves the truth, He will protect the one who is true before Him.

5, 6. You, a person who lives in the help of God, will not be afraid of the fear that happens at night from demons, or from people (thieves, robbers, arsonists of houses); you will not be afraid of arrows and shots that strike the body; you will not be afraid of mental arrows with which demons and passions strike. “Things that pass in darkness” - fornication, adultery, the demon of passion, and the like; and the “immoral one” is a demon of laziness and carelessness, corrupting people in their midday rest with the temptations of vile and carnal thoughts.

7. A thousand arrows will fall to your left and ten thousand arrows to your right, but you will not be harmed. A thousand on the left is a direct temptation to sins; ten thousand on the right is an attack by demons in order to oppose our righteous charitable deeds. This verse has numerous confirmations in biblical history (a vivid example is the victory of King Ezekiah in the war against the attacking Assyrians, who had much superior forces), as well as at the present time.

8. With God's help, you will see with your own eyes the retribution of the wicked who are at enmity against you.

9. Therefore, there will be such a strong defense from God that you have relied on God with all your heart and mind and have chosen Him as your refuge.

10. Since you have made God your refuge, “evil will not come to you,” i.e., no temptation (trouble) will strike you. “And the wound will not come near your body” - everything bodily will be protected and your house from fire and robbery, and the body from illness.

11. For the Lord will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. God, through angels, guards those who trust in Him.

12. They will carry you in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. The hands of the Angels - the essence of the guarding power - will support during temptations and difficult circumstances, so that your foot does not stumble on a stone. Under the stone is meant every sin and every obstacle to virtue.

13. Asp and basilisk - genera of poisonous snakes (basilisk - spectacled snake). A person who has God's guide in everything is not afraid of poisonous snakes and large predatory animals, they do not harm him, which is confirmed by numerous lives of saints. In this verse, by snakes and beasts, the holy fathers also mean victory over evil in general. Under the asp one can understand slander; the basilisk is envy both on the part of someone, and its own personal envy of someone; the lion is cruelty and inhumanity. Such passions are conquered by the righteous and receive no harm from them.

14. Since a man trusts in God, therefore He delivers him from every danger. The name of God is known not to the one who knows who God is in general, but to the one who behaves in relation to God worthy of God, demonstrating this dignity in the diligent fulfillment of the commandments and the will of God.

15. He who trusts in God will cry out to him in danger, and He will hear, and come to help, and free him, as He helped many martyrs in suffering. And not only liberates, but also glorifies in earthly and eternal life. Of course, he who trusts in God will not ask for anything unworthy, contrary to God's truth.

16. This verse means that the Lord rewards the one who trusts in God and strives to live according to His will with eternal life, and can also extend earthly life beyond the natural terms of death, which is also a lot of evidence.

Thus, when reading the prayer “Living in help”, God hears everyone and responds as loving father to help your son or daughter. The help and protection of the Lord is a reward, which is usually the greater, the more a person deserves it before Him. But God does not act strictly according to the principle: "as much as you are for me, as much as I am for you." Therefore, the Lord often helps a sinful person, who at the moment of conversion has only great faith and hope in God's help. Helps in the hope of strengthening faith and love in the future.

But people who are trying to live according to God's commandments also do not have a guarantee in God's protection when they turn in danger. For admonition, the Lord can allow the dark forces to attack them for sins that they could well have avoided. Such admonishment becomes clear to a person, and he straightens his crooked path. And also to allow an attack on those righteous, for whom troubles and sorrows are tests for the strengthening and growth of the spirit. These tests are given according to the strength of a person and for his good. In each particular case God's Providence unknown in advance, and it is not given to know people. The ways of the Lord are truly inscrutable, but philanthropic.
