Revised Literal Translation

Psalms 90:5-11

5Thou carriest them away as with a floodH2229; they are as a sleepH8142: in the morningH1242 they are like grassH2682 which groweth upH2498.1

6In the morningH1242 it flourishethH6692, and groweth upH2498; in the eveningH6153 it is cut downH4135, and witherethH3001.

7For we are consumedH3615 by thine angerH639, and by thy wrathH2534 are we troubledH926.

8Thou hast setH7896 our iniquitiesH5771 before thee, our secretH5956 sins in the lightH3974 of thy countenanceH6440.

9For all our daysH3117 are passed awayH6437 in thy wrathH5678: we spendH3615 our yearsH8141 as a taleH1899 that is told.2 3

10The daysH3117 of our yearsH8141 are threescoreH7657 yearsH8141 and tenH7657; and if by reason of strengthH1369 they be fourscoreH8084 yearsH8141, yet is their strengthH7296 labourH5999 and sorrowH205; for it is soonH2440 cut offH1468, and we fly awayH5774.4

11Who knowethH3045 the powerH5797 of thine angerH639? even according to thy fearH3374, so is thy wrathH5678.
