Psalm 90

A Prayer by Moses, the man of God.

 ^90:1Lord, you have been our dwelling place
      In all generations.

 ^90:2Before the mountains were brought forth,
      Or ever you had formed the earth and the world,
      Even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.

 ^90:3You turn man to destruction, saying,
      "Return, you children of men."

 ^90:4For a thousand years in your sight
      Are but as yesterday when it is past,
      As a watch in the night.

 ^90:5You sweep them away as they sleep.
      In the morning they sprout like new grass.

 ^90:6In the morning it sprouts and springs up.
      By evening, it is withered and dry.

 ^90:7For we are consumed in your anger.
      We are troubled in your wrath.

 ^90:8You have set our iniquities before you,
      Our secret sins in the light of your presence.

 ^90:9For all our days have passed away in your wrath.
      We bring our years to an end as a sigh.

 ^90:10The days of our years are seventy,
      Or even by reason of strength eighty years;
      Yet their pride is but labor and sorrow,
      For it passes quickly, and we fly away.

 ^90:11Who knows the power of your anger,
      Your wrath according to the fear that is due to you?

 ^90:12So teach us to number our days,
      That we may gain a heart of wisdom.

 ^90:13Relent, Yahweh! How long?
      Have compassion on your servants.

 ^90:14Satisfy us in the morning with your lovingkindness,
      That we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

 ^90:15Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us,
      For as many years as we have seen evil.

 ^90:16Let your work appear to your servants;
      Your glory to their children.

 ^90:17Let the favor of the Lord our God be on us;
      Establish the work of our hands for us;
      Yes, establish the work of our hands.
