90:1 |
<> Lord, you have been our dwelling place for all generations. |
90:2 |
Before the mountains were brought forth, before you had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God. |
90:3 |
You turn man to destruction, saying, "Return, you children of men." |
90:4 |
For a thousand years in your sight are just like yesterday when it is past, like a watch in the night. |
90:5 |
You sweep them away as they sleep. In the morning they sprout like new grass. |
90:6 |
In the morning it sprouts and springs up. By evening, it is withered and dry. |
90:7 |
For we are consumed in your anger. We are troubled in your wrath. |
90:8 |
You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence. |
90:9 |
For all our days have passed away in your wrath. We bring our years to an end as a sigh. |
90:10 |
The days of our years are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty years; yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, for it passes quickly, and we fly away. |
90:11 |
Who knows the power of your anger, your wrath according to the fear that is due to you? |
90:12 |
So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. |
90:13 |
Relent, Yahweh! How long? Have compassion on your servants! |
90:14 |
Satisfy us in the morning with your loving kindness, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. |
90:15 |
Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen evil. |
90:16 |
Let your work appear to your servants; your glory to their children. |
90:17 |
Let the favor of the Lord our God be on us; establish the work of our hands for us; yes, establish the work of our hands. |
