Psalms 90
1 A Prayer of Moses, the man of God. Lord, a habitation Thou — Thou hast been, To us — in generation and generation,
Lord, thou have been our dwelling-place in all generations.
2 Before mountains were brought forth, And Thou dost form the earth and the world, Even from age unto age Thou [art] God.
Before the mountains were brought forth, or thou had ever formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou are God.
3 Thou turnest man unto a bruised thing, And sayest, Turn back, ye sons of men.
Thou turn man to destruction, and say, Return, ye sons of men.
4 For a thousand years in Thine eyes [are] as yesterday, For it passeth on, yea, a watch by night.
For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
5 Thou hast inundated them, they are asleep, In the morning as grass he changeth.
Thou carry them away as with a flood. They are as a sleep. In the morning they are like grass which grows up.
6 In the morning it flourisheth, and hath changed, At evening it is cut down, and hath withered.
In the morning it flourishes, and grows up. In the evening it is cut down, and withers.
7 For we were consumed in Thine anger, And in Thy fury we have been troubled.
For we are consumed in thine anger, and in thy wrath are we troubled.
8 Thou hast set our iniquities before Thee, Our hidden things at the light of Thy face,
Thou have set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.
9 For all our days pined away in Thy wrath, We consumed our years as a (meditation)
For all our days are passed away in thy wrath. We bring our years to an end as a sigh.
10 Days of our years, in them [are] seventy years, And if, by reason of might, eighty years, Yet [is] their enlargement labour and vanity, For it hath been cut off hastily, and we fly away.
The days of our years are threescore years and ten, or even by reason of strength fourscore years, yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, for it is soon gone, and we fly away.
11 Who knoweth the power of Thine anger? And according to Thy fear — Thy wrath?
Who knows the power of thine anger, and thy wrath according to the fear that is due to thee?
12 To number our days aright let [us] know, And we bring the heart to wisdom.
So teach us to number our days, that we may get us a heart of wisdom.
13 Turn back, O Jehovah, till when? And repent concerning Thy servants.
Return, O Jehovah. How long? And relent concerning thy servants.
14 Satisfy us at morn [with] Thy kindness, And we sing and rejoice all our days.
O satisfy us in the morning with thy loving kindness, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
15 Cause us to rejoice according to the days Wherein Thou hast afflicted us, The years we have seen evil.
Make us glad according to the days in which thou have afflicted us, and the years in which we have seen evil.
16 Let Thy work appear unto Thy servants, And Thine honour on their sons.
Let thy work appear to thy servants, and thy glory upon their sons.
17 And let the pleasantness of Jehovah our God be upon us, And the work of our hands establish on us, Yea, the work of our hands establish it!
And let the favor 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.
