Psalms 90 NASB

1. Lord, You have been our dwelling place in all generations.

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

3. You turn mortals back into dust And say, “Return, you sons of mankind.”

4. For a thousand years in Your sight Are like yesterday when it passes by, Or like a watch in the night.

5. You have swept them away like a flood, they fall asleep; In the morning they are like grass that sprouts anew.

6. In the morning it flourishes and sprouts anew; Toward evening it wilts and withers away.

7. For we have been consumed by Your anger, And we have been terrified by Your wrath.

8. You have placed our guilty deeds before You, Our hidden sins in the light of Your presence.

9. For all our days have dwindled away in Your fury; We have finished our years like a sigh.

10. As for the days of our life, they contain seventy years, Or if due to strength, eighty years, Yet their pride is only trouble and tragedy; For it quickly passes, and we disappear.

11. Who understands the power of Your anger And Your fury, according to the fear that is due You?

12. So teach us to number our days, That we may present to You a heart of wisdom.

13. Do return, Lord; how long will it be? And be sorry for Your servants.

14. Satisfy us in the morning with Your graciousness, That we may sing for joy and rejoice all our days.

15. Make us glad according to the days You have afflicted us, And the years we have seen evil.

16. Let Your work appear to Your servants And Your majesty to their children.

17. May the kindness of the Lord our God be upon us; And confirm for us the work of our hands; Yes, confirm the work of our hands.
