PSALM 90
A Prayer of Moses the man of God.
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.
7For 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
daysa
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.
12So teach us
to number our days, that we may applyb 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.
