Psalm 90

1 {A Prayer of Moses, the man of God.} Lord, *thou* hast been our dwelling-place in all generations.DBY — Psalm 90:1

2 Before the mountains were brought forth, and thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from eternity to eternity thou art God.DBY — Psalm 90:2

3 Thou makest [mortal] man to return to dust, and sayest, Return, children of men.DBY — Psalm 90:3

4 For a thousand years, in thy sight, are as yesterday when it is past, and [as] a watch in the night.DBY — Psalm 90:4

5 Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are [as] a sleep: in the morning they are like grass [that] groweth up:DBY — Psalm 90:5

6 In the morning it flourisheth and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down and withereth.DBY — Psalm 90:6

7 For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy fury are we troubled.DBY — Psalm 90:7

8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret [sins] in the light of thy countenance.DBY — Psalm 90:8

9 For all our days pass away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a [passing] thought.DBY — Psalm 90:9

10 The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if, by reason of strength, they be fourscore years, yet their pride is labour and vanity, for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.DBY — Psalm 90:10

11 Who knoweth the power of thine anger? and thy wrath according to the fear of thee?DBY — Psalm 90:11

12 So teach [us] to number our days, that we may acquire a wise heart.DBY — Psalm 90:12

13 Return, Jehovah: how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.DBY — Psalm 90:13

14 Satisfy us early with thy loving-kindness; that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.DBY — Psalm 90:14

15 Make us glad according to the days [wherein] thou hast afflicted us, according to the years [wherein] we have seen evil.DBY — Psalm 90:15

16 Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy majesty unto their sons.DBY — Psalm 90:16

17 And let the beauty of Jehovah our God be upon us; and establish thou the work of our hands upon us: yea, the work of our hands, establish thou it.DBY — Psalm 90:17
