Psalms 90:1-9

11Lord, You have been our 23dwelling place in all generations.2Before 4the mountains were born 5Or You 6gave birth to the earth and the world, Even 7from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.

3You 8turn man back into dust And say, “Return, O children of men.”4For 9a thousand years in Your sight Are like 10yesterday when it passes by, 11Or as a 12watch in the night.5You 13have 14swept them away like a flood, they 1516fall asleep; In the morning they are like 17grass which 18sprouts anew.6In the morning it 19flourishes and 20sprouts anew; Toward evening it 21fades and 22withers away.

7For we have been 23consumed by Your anger And by Your wrath we have been 24dismayed.8You have 25placed our iniquities before You, Our 26secret sins in the light of Your presence.9For 27all our days have declined in Your fury; We have finished our years like a 28sigh.
