Psalms 90

A Prayer of Moses the man of God.

1LordH136, thou hast been our dwelling placeH4583 in allH1755 generationsH1755.12 2Before the mountainsH2022 were brought forthH3205, or ever thou hadst formedH2342 the earthH776 and the worldH8398, even from everlastingH5769 toH5704 everlastingH5769, thou art GodH410. 3Thou turnestH7725 manH582 to destructionH1793; and sayestH559, ReturnH7725, ye childrenH1121 of menH120. 4For a thousandH505 yearsH8141 in thy sightH5869 are but asH3117 yesterdayH865 when it is pastH5674, and as a watchH821 in the nightH3915.3 5Thou carriest them away as with a floodH2229; they are as a sleepH8142: in the morningH1242 they are like grassH2682 which growethH2498.4 6In the morningH1242 it flourishethH6692, and growethH2498; in the eveningH6153 it is cut downH4135, and witherethH3001.

7For we are consumedH3615 by thy 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 .56 10The daysH3117 of our yearsH8141 are seventyH7657 yearsH8141; and if by reason of strengthH1369 they are eightyH8084 yearsH8141, yet is their strengthH7296 labourH5999 and sorrowH205; for it is soonH2440 cut offH1468, and we fly awayH5774.7 11Who knowethH3045 the powerH5797 of thy angerH639? even according to thy fearH3374, so is thy wrathH5678.

12So teachH3045us to numberH4487 our daysH3117, that we may applyH935 our heartsH3824 to wisdomH2451.8 13ReturnH7725, O LORDH3068, how long? and repentH5162 thou concerning thy servantsH5650. 14O satisfyH7646 us earlyH1242 with thy mercyH2617; that we may rejoiceH7442 and be gladH8055 all our daysH3117. 15Make us gladH8055 according to the daysH3117 in which thou hast afflictedH6031 us, and the yearsH8141 in which we have seenH7200 evilH7451. 16Let thy workH6467 appearH7200 to thy servantsH5650, and thy gloryH1926 to their childrenH1121. 17And let the beautyH5278 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430 be upon us: and establishH3559 thou the workH4639 of our handsH3027 upon us; yea, the workH4639 of our handsH3027 establishH3559 thou it.
