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.
