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 turn us back to dust, and say, ‘Turn back, you mortals.’
90:4  For a thousand years in your sight are like yesterday when it is past, or like a watch in the night.
90:5  You sweep them away; 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 consumed by your anger; by your wrath we are overwhelmed.
90:8  You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your countenance.
90:9  For all our days pass away under your wrath; our years come to an end like a sigh.
90:10  The days of our life are seventy years, or perhaps eighty, if we are strong; even then their span is only toil and trouble; they are soon gone, and we fly away.
90:11  Who considers the power of your anger? Your wrath is as great as the fear that is due to you.
90:12  So teach us to count our days that we may gain a wise heart.
90:13  Turn, O Lord! How long? Have compassion on your servants!
90:14  Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love, so 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 manifest to your servants, and your glorious power to their children.
90:17  Let the favour of the Lord our God be upon us, and prosper for us the work of our hands— O prosper the work of our hands!
