←Prev   Psalms 90 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


90:1  A prayer of Moses, the man of God. Lord, you have been our refuge through all generations.
90:2  Before the mountains were born, the earth and the world brought forth, from eternity to eternity you are God.
90:3  You turn humanity back into dust, saying, “Return, you children of Adam!”
90:4  A thousand years in your eyes are merely a day gone by, Before a watch passes in the night,
90:5  you wash them away; They sleep, and in the morning they sprout again like an herb.
90:6  In the morning it blooms only to pass away; in the evening it is wilted and withered.
90:7  Truly we are consumed by your anger, filled with terror by your wrath.
90:8  You have kept our faults before you, our hidden sins in the light of your face.
90:9  Our life ebbs away under your wrath; our years end like a sigh.
90:10  Seventy is the sum of our years, or eighty, if we are strong; Most of them are toil and sorrow; they pass quickly, and we are gone.
90:11  Who comprehends the strength of your anger? Your wrath matches the fear it inspires.
90:12  Teach us to count our days aright, that we may gain wisdom of heart.
90:13  Relent, O Lord! How long? Have pity on your servants!
90:14  Fill us at daybreak with your mercy, that all our days we may sing for joy.
90:15  Make us glad as many days as you humbled us, for as many years as we have seen trouble.
90:16  Show your deeds to your servants, your glory to their children.
90:17  May the favor of the Lord our God be ours. Prosper the work of our hands! Prosper the work of our hands!
