Psalm 90

How and where to read

Reading requires a special mood that allows the prayer word to reach every corner of human consciousness.

It is important that prayer comes from the depths of the soul. God does not like empty speech. He needs strong faith, a desire for the best.

Icon of Jesus Christ

Before starting psalm reading, it is necessary to repent of sins. This is the Sacrament of Confession, performed in an Orthodox church.
If it is not possible to confess (due to weakness or other valid reasons), then you need to remember your sins, repent, and ask Christ for forgiveness for the sinful acts you have committed.
It is advisable to ask for a blessing to read the Psalm from the priest of the local temple.
Typically, clergy bless parishioners for 40 days of prayer. At first, it is allowed to read the Psalm from the prayer book, but it must be learned by heart.

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.

In what cases is it read?

Psalm 90 is found in the Bible in the book of Psalms, is included in Orthodox prayer books, and is widely used in worship. It is recommended to know the prayer by heart and read it at moments when you need to feel Divine help, care and intercession.

Prayer helps:

in case of danger to life;
during demonic attacks, passion for other people's husbands/wives, desire to commit sin;
during attacks of fear;
with nightmares;
during hostilities.

The psalm is read until danger, fears, and bad thoughts disappear. When this prayer is said, the devil retreats very quickly. Holy words bring peace to the soul and drive away danger.

In case of long-term troubles, for example, a serious illness, you need to perform prayer work, reading the psalm 40 times. Such long reading helps you concentrate on the words, drives away vain thoughts, and calms you internally. This is how faith in God is renewed, hope in His mercy and all-powerful help.

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 cover 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.
They will take you in their arms, but not when you dash your foot against a stone.
Tread on the asp and the basilisk, and cross the lion and the serpent.
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 Power of Prayer

The history of Christianity contains much evidence of the power of this prayer. If a believer says these words, then even in the most difficult and seemingly difficult moments of life, the Almighty tells you what to do next in order to correct the current circumstances or avoid a negative outcome. The sacred text heals the sick, protects from misfortunes and troubles, and is the best protection against various kinds of fears.

As is known, it arose long before Christianity appeared in Rus'. Also, in ancient times, people believed that the prayer “Living Help” would always protect them from all evil. In its current form, the text has undergone some changes. This was done in order to gain a deeper understanding of its true meaning. The translation of Psalm 90 was produced into Russian not so long ago and is now available to every believer. It should be noted that previously it was not possible to understand it.

Prayer Song Rules

Any prayer is a frank dialogue with God. She helps those who, with faith and true repentance, turn to the Almighty, asking Him for protection, peace of mind, and assistance in any difficulties.

Reading it every day, preferably in the morning or before starting any task, the great meaning of the words of the Psalm, Divine truth, is revealed to a person. The man of prayer realizes that he is not alone in the world, the Heavenly Father, the Great Comforter and Intercessor is always next to him, and all trials are His great providence and an invaluable lesson for the soul.
