Psalm 90 :: Revised Standard Version (RSV)

Psa 90:1A Prayer of Moses, the man of God. LORD, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.
Psa 90:2Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting thou art God.
Psa 90:3Thou turnest man back to the dust, and sayest, "Turn back, O children of men!"
Psa 90:4For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, or as a watch in the night.
Psa 90:5Thou dost sweep men away; they are like a dream, like grass which is renewed in the morning:
Psa 90:6in the morning it flourishes and is renewed; in the evening it fades and withers.
Psa 90:7For we are consumed by thy anger; by thy wrath we are overwhelmed.
Psa 90:8Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.
Psa 90:9For all our days pass away under thy wrath, our years come to an end like a sigh.
Psa 90:10The years of our life are threescore and ten, or even by reason of strength fourscore; yet their span is but toil and trouble; they are soon gone, and we fly away.
Psa 90:11Who considers the power of thy anger, and thy wrath according to the fear of thee?
Psa 90:12So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.
Psa 90:13Return, O LORD! How long? Have pity on thy servants!
Psa 90:14Satisfy us in the morning with thy steadfast love, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
Psa 90:15Make us glad as many days as thou hast afflicted us, and as many years as we have seen evil.
Psa 90:16Let thy work be manifest to thy servants, and thy glorious power to their children.
Psa 90:17Let 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.
