90:1 Lord, you've been our refuge from generation to generation.
90:2 Before the mountains were formed or the earth and the world were brought forth, you are God from eternity to eternity.
90:3 You return people to dust merely by saying, "Return, you mortals!"
90:4 One thousand years in your sight are but a single day that passes by, just like a night watch.
90:5 You will sweep them away while they are asleep— by morning they are like growing grass.
90:6 In the morning it blossoms and is renewed, but toward evening, it fades and withers.
90:7 Indeed, we are consumed by your anger and terrified by your wrath.
90:8 You have set our iniquities before you, what we have concealed in the light of your presence.
90:9 All our days pass away in your wrath; our years fade away and end like a sigh.
90:10 We live for 70 years, or 80 years if we're healthy, yet even in the prime years there are troubles and sorrow. They pass by quickly and we fly away.
90:11 Who can know the intensity of your anger? Because our fear of you matches your wrath,
90:12 teach us to keep account of our days so we may develop inner wisdom.
90:13 Please return, LORD! When will it be? Comfort your servants.
90:14 Satisfy us in the morning with your gracious love so we may sing for joy and rejoice every day.
90:15 Cause us to rejoice throughout the time when you have afflicted us, the years when we have known trouble.
90:16 May your awesome deeds be revealed to your servants, as well as your splendor to their children.
90:17 May your favor be on us, Lord our God; make our endeavors successful; yes, make our endeavors secure!
