Psalms 90:4

Psalms 90:4

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.
