Psalms - Chapter 90 | American Standard Version

  • 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, Or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.
  • 3. Thou turnest man to destruction, And sayest, Return, ye children of men.
  • 4. For a thousand years in thy sight Are but 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 which 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 in thine anger, And in thy wrath 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 are passed away in thy wrath: We bring our years to an end as a sigh.
  • 10. The days of our years are threescore years and ten, Or even by reason of strength fourscore years; Yet is their pride but labor and sorrow; For it is soon gone, and we fly away.
  • 11. Who knoweth the power of thine anger, And thy wrath according to the fear that is due unto thee?
  • 12. So teach us to number our days, That we may get us a heart of wisdom.
  • 13. Return, O Jehovah; How long? And let it repent thee concerning thy servants.
  • 14. Oh satisfy us in the morning with thy lovingkindness, That we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
  • 15. Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, And the years wherein we have seen evil.
  • 16. Let thy work appear unto thy servants, And thy glory upon their children.
  • 17. And let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us; And establish thou the work of our hands upon us; Yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.
