90:1  Lord, we have dwelled in You in all generations.

90:2  Before the mountains came into existence Or You gave birth to the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, we acknowledge You as God.

90:3  You turn man back into dust And say, "Return, O children of men."

90:4  For a thousand years in Your sight resemble yesterday when it passes by, Or as a watch in the night.

90:5  You have swept them away like a flood, they fall asleep; In the morning they resemble grass which sprouts anew.

90:6  In the morning it flourishes and sprouts anew; Toward evening it fades and withers away.

90:7  For You have consumed us by Your anger And by Your wrath we have become dismayed.

90:8  You have placed our iniquities before You, Our secret sins in the light of Your presence.

90:9  For all our days have declined in Your fury; We have finished our years like a sigh.

90:10  As for the days of our life, they contain seventy years, Or if due to strength, eighty years, Yet their pride contains labor and sorrow; For soon it disappears and we fly away.

90:11  Who understands the power of Your anger And Your fury, according to the fear that we owe You?

90:12  So teach us to number our days, That we may present to You a heart of wisdom.

90:13  Do return, O LORD; how long will it take? And feel sorry for Your servants.

90:14  O satisfy us in the morning with Your lovingkindness, That we may sing for joy and show gladness in all our days.

90:15   Make us glad according to the days You have afflicted us, And the years we have seen evil.

90:16  Let Your work appear to Your servants And Your majesty to their children.

90:17  Let the favor of the Lord our God fall upon us; And confirm for us the work of our hands; Yes, confirm the work of our hands.
