The Prayer of Moses: Psalm 90

Lord, you have been our dwelling place throughout all generations.

Moses wrote this—the only psalm attributed to him. The man who led Israel for forty years in wilderness. The one who knew transience better than anyone. And he begins with permanence: God as dwelling place. Not tent, not tabernacle—God himself.

Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the whole world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.

Before mountains. Before the world's birth. From everlasting to everlasting. Moses had seen the burning bush, heard the voice from Sinai. He knew God's timelessness.
