90:1  {A Prayer of Moses, the man of God.} Lord, thou hast been our dwelling-place in all generations.
90:2  Before the mountains were brought forth, and thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from eternity to eternity thou art �God.
90:3  Thou makest mortal man to return to dust, and sayest, Return, children of men.
90:4  For a thousand years, in thy sight, are 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 that 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 fury 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 pass away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a passing thought.
90:10  The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if, by reason of strength, they be fourscore years, yet their pride is labour and vanity, for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
90:11  Who knoweth the power of thine anger? and thy wrath according to the fear of thee?
90:12  So teach us to number our days, that we may acquire a wise heart.
90:13  Return, Jehovah: how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.
90:14  Satisfy us early with thy loving-kindness; that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.
90:15  Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, according to the years wherein we have seen evil.
90:16  Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy majesty unto their sons.
90:17  And let the beauty of Jehovah our God be upon us; and establish thou the work of our hands upon us: yea, the work of our hands, establish thou it.
