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

90:2  Before the mountains were brought forth,
Or ever You had formed the earth and the world,
Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.

90:3  You turn man to destruction,
And say, "Return, O children of men."

90:4  For a thousand years in Your sight
Are like yesterday when it is past,
And like a watch in the night.

90:5  You carry them away like a flood;
They are like a sleep.
In the morning they are like grass which grows up:

90:6  In the morning it flourishes and grows up;
In the evening it is cut down and withers.

90:7  For we have been consumed by Your anger,
And by Your wrath we are terrified.

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

90:9  For all our days have passed away in Your wrath;
We finish our years like a sigh.

90:10  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.

90:11  Who knows the power of Your anger?
For as the fear of You, so is Your wrath.

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

90:13  Return, O LORD!
How long?
And have compassion on Your servants.

90:14  Oh, satisfy us early with Your mercy,
That we may rejoice and be glad all our days!

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

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

90:17  And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us,
And establish the work of our hands for us;
Yes, establish the work of our hands.
