Psalm Chapter 90 Back NextPsalm 90 A Prayer by Moses, the man of
God>.
{90:1}
Lord, you have been our dwelling place for all generations.
{90:2} Before the mountains were brought forth, before you had formed the
earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.
{90:3} You turn man to destruction, saying, "Return, you children of men."
{90:4} For a thousand years in your sight are just like yesterday when it is past, like a watch in the night.
{90:5} You sweep them away as they sleep. In the morning they sprout like new
grass.
{90:6} In the morning it sprouts and springs up. By evening, it is withered and dry.
{90:7} For we are consumed in your anger. We are troubled in your wrath.
{90:8} You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence.
{90:9} For all our days have passed away in your wrath. We bring our years to an end as a sigh.
{90:10} The 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.
{90:11} Who knows the power of your anger, your wrath according to the fear that is due to you?
{90:12} So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a
heart of wisdom.
{90:13} Relent,
Yahweh! How long? Have compassion on your servants!
{90:14} Satisfy us in the morning with your loving kindness, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
{90:15} Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen evil.
{90:16} Let your work appear to your servants; your glory to their children.
{90:17} Let 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.
