| 90:1
| Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.
|
| 90:2
| Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the
earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.
|
| 90:3
| Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men.
|
| 90:4
| For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past,
and as a watch in the night.
|
| 90:5
| Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the
morning they are like grass which groweth up.
|
| 90:6
| In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut
down, and withereth.
|
| 90:7
| For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.
|
| 90:8
| Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light
of thy countenance.
|
| 90:9
| For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a
tale that is told.
|
| 90:10
| The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of
strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow;
for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
|
| 90:11
| Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, so is
thy wrath.
|
| 90:12
| So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto
wisdom.
|
| 90:13
| Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy
servants.
|
| 90:14
| O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all
our days.
|
| 90:15
| Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and
the years wherein we have seen evil.
|
| 90:16
| Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their
children.
|
| 90:17
| And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou
the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou
it.
