Psalms 90
1 A Prayer of Moses, the man of God. Lord, a habitation Thou — Thou hast been, To us — in generation and generation,
A prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, thou hast been our refuge from generation to generation.
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 made, or the earth and the world was formed; from eternity and to eternity thou art God.
3 Thou turnest man unto a bruised thing, And sayest, Turn back, ye sons of men.
Turn not man away to be brought low: and thou hast said: Be converted, O 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 as yesterday, which is past. And as a watch in the night,
5 Thou hast inundated them, they are asleep, In the morning as grass he changeth.
Things that are counted nothing, shall their years be.
6 In the morning it flourisheth, and hath changed, At evening it is cut down, and hath withered.
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.
7 For we were consumed in Thine anger, And in Thy fury we have been troubled.
For in thy wrath we have fainted away: and are troubled in thy indignation.
8 Thou hast set our iniquities before Thee, Our hidden things at the light of Thy face,
Thou hast set our iniquities before thy eyes: our life 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 spent; and in thy wrath we have fainted away. Our years shall be considered as a spider:
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 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.
11 Who knoweth the power of Thine anger? And according to Thy fear — Thy wrath?
Who knoweth the power of thy anger, and for thy fear
12 To number our days aright let [us] know, And we bring the heart to wisdom.
Can number thy wrath? So make thy right hand known: and men learned in heart, in wisdom.
13 Turn back, O Jehovah, till when? And repent concerning Thy servants.
Return, O Lord, how long? and be entreated in favour of thy servants.
14 Satisfy us at morn [with] Thy kindness, And we sing and rejoice all our days.
We are filled in the morning with thy mercy: and we have rejoiced, and are delighted all our days.
15 Cause us to rejoice according to the days Wherein Thou hast afflicted us, The years we have seen evil.
We have rejoiced for the days in which thou hast humbled us: for the years in which we have seen evils.
16 Let Thy work appear unto Thy servants, And Thine honour on their sons.
Look upon thy servants and upon their works: and direct their children.
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 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.
