90:1  A Prayer of Moses, the man of God. Lord, you have been our dwelling place in all generations.
90:2  Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
90:3  You return man to dust and say, “Return, O children of man!”
90:4  For a thousand years in your sight are but as yesterday when it is past, or as a watch in the night.
90:5  You sweep them away as with a flood; they are like a dream, like grass that is renewed in the morning:
90:6  in the morning it flourishes and is renewed; in the evening it fades and withers.
90:7  For we are brought to an end by your anger; by your wrath we are dismayed.
90:8  You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence.
90:9  For all our days pass away under your wrath; we bring our years to an end like a sigh.
90:10  The years of our life are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty; yet their span is but toil and trouble; they are soon gone, and we fly away.
90:11  Who considers the power of your anger, and your wrath according to the fear of you?
90:12  So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.
90:13  Return, O Lord! How long? Have pity on your servants!
90:14  Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
90:15  Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, and for as many years as we have seen evil.
90:16  Let your work be shown to your servants, and your glorious power to their children.
90:17  Let the favour of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands upon us; yes, establish the work of our hands!
