Psalms 90:1-9

1Lord, you have been our refuge in every generation.

2Before the mountains were born, before you gave birth to the earth and the world, from eternity to eternity, you are God.

3You return mankind to the dust, saying, “Return, descendants of Adam.”

4For in your sight a thousand years are like yesterday that passes by, like a few hours of the night.

5You end their lives; they sleep. They are like grass that grows in the morning —

6in the morning it sprouts and grows; by evening it withers and dries up.

7For we are consumed by your anger; we are terrified by your wrath.

8You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence.

9For all our days ebb away under your wrath; we end our years like a sigh.
