←Prev   Psalms 90 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


90:1  A prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, you have been our dwelling place throughout all generations.
90:2  Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the whole world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
90:3  You turn people back to dust, saying, "Return to dust, you mortals."
90:4  A thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night.
90:5  Yet you sweep people away in the sleep of death-- they are like the new grass of the morning:
90:6  In the morning it springs up new, but by evening it is dry and withered.
90:7  We are consumed by your anger and terrified by your indignation.
90:8  You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence.
90:9  All our days pass away under your wrath; we finish our years with a moan.
90:10  Our days may come to seventy years, or eighty, if our strength endures; yet the best of them are but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away.
90:11  If only we knew the power of your anger! Your wrath is as great as the fear that is your due.
90:12  Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
90:13  Relent, LORD! How long will it be? Have compassion on your servants.
90:14  Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.
90:15  Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen trouble.
90:16  May your deeds be shown to your servants, your splendor to their children.
90:17  May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us; establish the work of our hands for us-- yes, establish the work of our hands.
