Psalms
90:1 Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.
90:2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the
earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.
90:3 Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men.
90:4 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past,
and as a watch in the night.
90:5 Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the
morning they are like grass which groweth up.
90:6 In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut
down, and withereth.
90:7 For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.
90:8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light
of thy countenance.
90:9 For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a
tale that is told.
90:10 The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of
strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and
sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
90:11 Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, so is
thy wrath.
90:12 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto
wisdom.
90:13 Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy
servants.
90:14 O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all
our days.
90:15 Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and
the years wherein we have seen evil.
90:16 Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their
children.
90:17 And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou
the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou
it.
