90:1  A Prayer of Moses, the man of God. 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, from everlasting to everlasting thou art God.

90:3  Thou turnest man back to the dust, and sayest, "Turn back, O children of men!"

90:4  For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, or as a watch in the night.

90:5  Thou dost sweep men away; they are like a dream, like grass which is renewed in the morning:

90:6  in the morning it flourishes and is renewed; in the evening it fades and withers.

90:7  For we are consumed by thy anger; by thy wrath we are overwhelmed.

90:8  Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.

90:9  For all our days pass away under thy wrath, our years come to an end like a sigh.

90:10  The years of our life are threescore and ten, or even by reason of strength fourscore; yet their span is but toil and trouble; they are soon gone, and we fly away.

90:11  Who considers the power of thy anger, and thy wrath according to the fear of thee?

90:12  So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.

90:13  Return, O LORD! How long? Have pity on thy servants!

90:14  Satisfy us in the morning with thy steadfast love, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

90:15  Make us glad as many days as thou hast afflicted us, and as many years as we have seen evil.

90:16  Let thy work be manifest to thy servants, and thy glorious power to their children.

90:17  Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish thou the work of our hands upon us, yea,
