90:1  1 Moses in his prayer setteth before us the eternal favor of God toward his, 3 who are neither admonished by the brevity of their life,  7 nor by his plagues to be thankful, 12 therefore Moses prayeth God to turn their hearts, and continue his mercies toward them and their posterity forever. A prayer of Moses, the man of God. Lord, thou hast been our habitation from generation to generation.
90:2  Before the mountains were made, and before thou hadst formed the earth, and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting thou art our God.
90:3  Thou turnest man to destruction: again thou sayest, Return ye sons of Adam.
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 hast overflowed them, they are as a sleep, in the morning he groweth like the grass:
90:6  In the morning it flourisheth and groweth, but 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, and our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.
90:9  For all our days are past in thine anger: we have spent our years as a thought.
90:10  The time of our life is threescore years and ten, and if they be of strength, fourscore years: yet their strength is but labor and sorrow: for it is cut off quickly, and we flee away.
90:11  Who knoweth the power of thy wrath? for according to thy fear is thine anger.
90:12  Teach us so to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
90:13  Return (O Lord, how long?) and be pacified toward thy servants.
90:14  Fill us with thy mercy in the morning: so shall we rejoice and be glad all our days?
90:15  Comfort us according to the days that thou hast afflicted us, and according to the years that we have seen evil.
90:16  Let thy work be seen toward thy servants, and thy glory upon their children.
90:17  And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us, and direct thou the work of our hands upon us, even direct the work of our hands.
