←Prev   Psalms 90 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


90:1  A prayer of Moses the man of God. My Lord, You have been our dwelling from generation to generation.
90:2  Before the mountains were born, or You gave birth to the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God!
90:3  You turn mankind back to dust, saying, “Return, children of Adam!”
90:4  For a thousand years in Your sight are like a day just passing by, or like a watch in the night.
90:5  You sweep them away in their sleep. In the morning they are like sprouting grass—
90:6  in the morning it flourishes and springs up, by evening it withers and dries up.
90:7  For we are consumed by Your anger and terrified by Your wrath.
90:8  You have set our iniquities before You, our secret sins in the light of Your presence.
90:9  For all our days have passed away under Your wrath. We spent our years like a sigh.
90:10  The span of our years is seventy —or with strength, eighty— yet at best they are trouble and sorrow. For they are soon gone, and we fly away.
90:11  Who knows the power of Your anger? Your fury leads to awe of you.
90:12  So teach us to number our days, so that we may get a heart of wisdom.
90:13  Relent, Adonai! How long? Have compassion on Your servants.
90:14  Satisfy us in the morning with Your love, so we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.
90:15  Gladden us for as many days as You have humbled us, as many years as we have seen misery.
90:16  Let Your work appear to Your servants, and Your splendor on their children.
90:17  Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us. Establish the work of our hands for us— yes, establish the work of our hands.
