< Psalms 90 >

1 A prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, thou hast been our refuge from generation to generation.
A prayer of Moses, the man of God. Lord, thou hast bene our habitation from generation to generation.
2 Before the mountains were made, or the earth and the world was formed; from eternity and to eternity thou art God.
Before the mountaines were made, and before thou hadst formed the earth, and the world, euen from euerlasting to euerlasting thou art our God.
3 Turn not man away to be brought low: and thou hast said: Be converted, O ye sons of men.
Thou turnest man to destruction: againe thou sayest, Returne, ye sonnes of Adam.
4 For a thousand years in thy sight are as yesterday, which is past. And as a watch in the night,
For a thousande yeeres in thy sight are as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
5 Things that are counted nothing, shall their years be.
Thou hast ouerflowed them: they are as a sleepe: in the morning he groweth like the grasse:
6 In the morning man shall grow up like grass; in the morning he shall flourish and pass away: in the evening he shall fall, grow dry, and wither.
In the morning it florisheth and groweth, but in the euening it is cut downe and withereth.
7 For in thy wrath we have fainted away: and are troubled in thy indignation.
For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.
8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thy eyes: our life in the light of thy countenance.
Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, and our secret sinnes in the light of thy countenance.
9 For all our days are spent; and in thy wrath we have fainted away. Our years shall be considered as a spider:
For all our dayes are past in thine anger: we haue spent our yeeres as a thought.
10 The days of our years in them are threescore and ten years. But if in the strong they be fourscore years: and what is more of them is labour and sorrow. For mildness is come upon us: and we shall be corrected.
The time of our life is threescore yeeres and ten, and if they be of strength, fourescore yeeres: yet their strength is but labour and sorowe: for it is cut off quickly, and we flee away.
11 Who knoweth the power of thy anger, and for thy fear
Who knoweth the power of thy wrath? for according to thy feare is thine anger.
12 Can number thy wrath? So make thy right hand known: and men learned in heart, in wisdom.
Teach vs so to nomber our dayes, that we may apply our heartes vnto wisdome.
13 Return, O Lord, how long? and be entreated in favour of thy servants.
Returne (O Lord, howe long?) and be pacified toward thy seruants.
14 We are filled in the morning with thy mercy: and we have rejoiced, and are delighted all our days.
Fill vs with thy mercie in the morning: so shall we reioyce and be glad all our dayes.
15 We have rejoiced for the days in which thou hast humbled us: for the years in which we have seen evils.
Comfort vs according to the dayes that thou hast afflicted vs, and according to the yeeres that we haue seene euill.
16 Look upon thy servants and upon their works: and direct their children.
Let thy worke bee seene towarde thy seruants, and thy glory vpon their children.
17 And let the brightness of the Lord our God be upon us: and direct thou the works of our hands over us; yea, the work of our hands do thou direct.
And let the beautie of the Lord our God be vpon vs, and direct thou the worke of our hands vpon vs, euen direct the worke of our handes.
