BOOK FOUR: Psalms 90—106 The Eternity of God, and Man’s Frailty

A Prayer of Moses the man of God.

1 Lord, aYou have been our dwelling place in all generations. 
2 aBefore the mountains were brought forth,
Or ever You1 had formed the earth and the world,
Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God. 
3 You turn man to destruction,
And say, a“Return, O children of men.” 
4 aFor a thousand years in Your sight
Are like yesterday when it is past,
And like a watch in the night. 
5 You carry them away like a flood;
aThey are like a sleep.
In the morning bthey are like grass which grows up: 
6 In the morning it flourishes and grows up;
In the evening it is cut down and withers.
7 For we have been consumed by Your anger,
And by Your wrath we are terrified.
8 aYou have set our iniquities before You,
Our bsecret sins in the light of Your countenance. 
9 For all our days have passed away in Your wrath;
We finish our years like a sigh.
10 The days of our lives are seventy years;
And if by reason of strength they are eighty years,
Yet their boast is only labor and sorrow;
For it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
11 Who knows the power of Your anger?
For as the fear of You, so is Your wrath.
12 aSo teach us to number our days,
That we may gain a heart of wisdom.
