New American Standard Bible 1995

Psalms 90:2-6

2Before 1the mountains were born 2Or You 3gave birth to the earth and the world, Even 4from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.

3You 5turn man back into dust And say, “Return, O children of men.”4For 6a thousand years in Your sight Are like 7yesterday when it passes by, 8Or as a 9watch in the night.5You 10have 11swept them away like a flood, they 12 13fall asleep; In the morning they are like 14grass which 15sprouts anew.6In the morning it 16flourishes and 17sprouts anew; Toward evening it 18fades and 19withers away.
