Book Four: Psalms 90—106
PSALM 90
The Eternity of God, and Man’s Frailty
A Prayer of Moses the man of God.
1 Lord, You have been our dwelling place[fn] in all generations.
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.
​
3 ​​You turn man to destruction,
​​And say, “Return, O children of men.”
4 ​​For a thousand years in Your sight
​​Are like yesterday when it is past,
​​And like a watch in the night.
5 ​​You carry them away like a flood;
​​They are like a sleep.
​​In the morning they are like grass which grows up:
6 ​​In the morning it flourishes and grows up;
​​In the evening it is cut down and withers.
​
7 ​​For we have been consumed by Your anger,
​​And by Your wrath we are terrified.
8 ​​You have set our iniquities before You,
​​Our secret sins in the light of Your countenance.
9 ​​For all our days have passed away in Your wrath;
​​We finish our years like a sigh.
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.
11 ​​Who knows the power of Your anger?
​​For as the fear of You, so is Your wrath.
12 ​​So teach us to number our days,
​​That we may gain a heart of wisdom.
​
13 ​​Return, O LORD!
​​How long?
​​And have compassion on Your servants.
14 ​​Oh, satisfy us early with Your mercy,
​​That we may rejoice and be glad all our days!
15 ​​Make us glad according to the days in which You have afflicted us,
​​The years in which we have seen evil.
16 ​​Let Your work appear to Your servants,
​​And Your glory to their children.
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.
