Psalm 90
1 Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all
generations.
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.
3 Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye
children of men.
4 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday
when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
5 Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a
sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.
6 In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the
evening it is cut down, and withereth.
7 For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are
we troubled.
8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins
in the light of thy countenance.
9 For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend
our years as a tale that is told.
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.
11 Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to
thy fear, so is thy wrath.
12 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our
hearts unto wisdom.
13 Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent thee
concerning thy servants.
14 O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice
and be glad all our days.
15 Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast
afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil.
16 Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory
unto their children.
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.
