Lord, thou hast been
our dwelling place in all generations.
90:2
Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst
formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to
everlasting, thou [art] God.
90:3
Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye
children of men.
90:4
For a thousand years in thy sight [are but] as yesterday
when it is past, and [as] a watch in the night.
90:5
Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are [as] a
sleep: in the morning [they are] like grass [which] groweth up.
90:6
In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the
evening it is cut down, and withereth.
90:7
For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we
troubled.
90:8
Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret [sins]
in the light of thy countenance.
90:9
For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our
years as a tale [that is told].
90:10
The days 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.
90:11
Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to
thy fear, [so is] thy wrath.
90:12
So teach [us] to number our days, that we may apply [our]
hearts unto wisdom.
90:13
Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent thee
concerning thy servants.
90:14
O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and
be glad all our days.
90:15
Make us glad according to the days [wherein] thou hast
afflicted us, [and] the years [wherein] we have seen evil.
90:16
Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto
their children.
90:17
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.
