Chapter 90

1


 

  {A Prayer of Moses, the man of God.} Lord, thou hast been our dwelling-place in all generations.  

 

 

-

2


 

  Before the mountains were brought forth, and thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from eternity to eternity thou art łGod.  

 

 

-

3


 

  Thou makest [mortal] man to return to dust, and sayest, Return, children of men.  

 

 

-

4


 

  For a thousand years, in thy sight, are as yesterday when it is past, and [as] a watch in the night.  

 

 

-

5


 

  Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are [as] a sleep: in the morning they are like grass [that] groweth up:  

 

 

-

6


 

  In the morning it flourisheth and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down and withereth.  

 

 

-

7


 

  For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy fury are we troubled.  

 

 

-

8


 

  Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret [sins] in the light of thy countenance.  

 

 

-

9


 

  For all our days pass away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a [passing] thought.  

 

 

-

10


 

  The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if, by reason of strength, they be fourscore years, yet their pride is labour and vanity, for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.  

 

 

-

11


 

  Who knoweth the power of thine anger? and thy wrath according to the fear of thee?  

 

 

-

12


 

  So teach [us] to number our days, that we may acquire a wise heart.  

 

 

-

13


 

  Return, Jehovah: how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.  

 

 

-

14


 

  Satisfy us early with thy loving-kindness; that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.  

 

 

-

15


 

  Make us glad according to the days [wherein] thou hast afflicted us, according to the years [wherein] we have seen evil.  

 

 

-

16


 

  Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy majesty unto their sons.  

 

 

-

17


 

  And let the beauty of Jehovah our God be upon us; and establish thou the work of our hands upon us: yea, the work of our hands, establish thou it.
