Psalms 90

^{Psalms 90:1} Lord, You have been our dwelling place through all generations.

^{Psalms 90:2} Before the mountains were born or You brought forth the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting You are God.

^{Psalms 90:3} You return man to dust, saying, “Return, O sons of mortals.”

^{Psalms 90:4} For in Your sight a thousand years are but a day that passes, or a watch of the night.

^{Psalms 90:5} You whisk them away in their sleep; they are like the new grass of the morning—

^{Psalms 90:6} in the morning it springs up new, but by evening it fades and withers.

^{Psalms 90:7} For we are consumed by Your anger and terrified by Your wrath.

^{Psalms 90:8} You have set our iniquities before You, our secret sins in the light of Your presence.

^{Psalms 90:9} For all our days decline in Your fury; we finish our years with a sigh.

^{Psalms 90:10} The length of our days is seventy years— or eighty if we are strong— yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away.

^{Psalms 90:11} Who knows the power of Your anger? Your wrath matches the fear You are due.

^{Psalms 90:12} So teach us to number our days, that we may present a heart of wisdom.

^{Psalms 90:13} Return, O LORD! How long will it be? Have compassion on Your servants.

^{Psalms 90:14} Satisfy us in the morning with Your loving devotion, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.

^{Psalms 90:15} Make us glad for as many days as You have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen evil.

^{Psalms 90:16} May Your work be shown to Your servants, and Your splendor to their children.

^{Psalms 90:17} May the favor of the Lord our God rest upon us; establish for us the work of our hands— yes, establish the work of our hands!
