Psalms 90

A Prayer of Moses the man of God.

1LordH136, thou hast beenH1961 our dwelling-placeIn all generationsH1755.2Before the mountainsH2022 were broughtH3205 forthH3205,Or everH5769 thou hadst formed the earthH776 and the worldH8398,Even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art GodH410.3Thou turnest manH120 to destruction,And sayest, ReturnH7725, ye children of menH120.4For a thousandH505 yearsH8141 in thy sightAre but as yesterday when it is past,And as a watchH821 in the nightH3915.5Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they areH1961 as a sleepH8142:In the morningH1242 they areH1961 like grassH2682 which groweth up.6In the morningH1242 it flourisheth, and groweth up;In the eveningH6153 it is cut down, and withereth.7For we are consumed in thine angerH639,And in thy wrathH2534 are we troubled.8Thou hast setH7896 our iniquitiesH5771 before thee,Our secret sins in the lightH3974 of thy countenance.9For all our daysH3117 are passed awayH6437 in thy wrathH5678:We bring our yearsH8141 to an endH3615 as a sigh.10The daysH3117 of our yearsH8141 are threescore yearsH8141 and ten,Or even by reason of strengthH1369 fourscore yearsH8141;Yet is their pride but laborH5999 and sorrow;For it is soon gone, and we flyH5774 away.11Who knoweth the power of thine angerH639,And thy wrathH5678 according to the fearH3374 that is due unto thee?12SoH3651 teach us to numberH4487 our daysH3117,That we may get us a heartH3824 of wisdomH2451.13ReturnH7725, O Jehovah; how long?And let it repent thee concerning thy servantsH5650.14Oh satisfyH7646 us in the morningH1242 with thy lovingkindness,That we may rejoiceH8055 and be gladH8055 all our daysH3117.15MakeH8055 us gladH8055 according to the daysH3117 wherein thou hast afflicted us,And the yearsH8141 wherein we have seenH7200 evilH7451.16Let thy workH6467 appearH7200 unto thy servantsH5650,And thy glory upon their children.17And let the favorH5278 of the LordH136 our GodH430 beH1961 upon us;And establishH3559 thou the workH4639 of our handsH3027 upon us;Yea, the workH4639 of our handsH3027 establishH3559 thou it.
