# Psalm 90 (New King James Version)
Psalms 90–106The Eternity of God, and Man's Frailty

##### Chapter 90
###### 1 Lord, You have been our dwelling place 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.
