90:1  Lord, You have been our dwelling place in all generations.

90:2  Before the mountains were born Or You gave birth to the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are 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 Are like 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 are like grass which sprouts anew.

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

90:7  For we have been consumed by Your anger And by Your wrath we have been 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 is {but} labor and sorrow; For soon it is gone and we fly away.

90:11  Who understands the power of Your anger And Your fury, according to the fear that is due 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 be?} And be sorry for Your servants.

90:14  O satisfy us in the morning with Your lovingkindness, That we may sing for joy and be glad 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 be upon us; And confirm for us the work of our hands; Yes, confirm the work of our hands.
