# 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,
|
|
from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
|
|
3 You return man to dust
|
|
and say, “Return, O children of man!”
|
|
4 For a thousand years in your sight
|
|
are but as yesterday when it is past,
|
|
or as a watch in the night.
|
|
5 You sweep them away as with a flood; they are like a dream,
|
|
like grass that is renewed in the morning:
|
|
6 in the morning it flourishes and is renewed;
|
|
in the evening it fades and withers.
|
|
7 For we are brought to an end by your anger;
|
|
by your wrath we are dismayed.
|
|
8 You have set our iniquities before you,
|
|
our secret sins in the light of your presence.
|
|
9 For all our days pass away under your wrath;
|
|
we bring our years to an end like a sigh.
|
|
10 The years of our life are seventy,
|
|
or even by reason of strength eighty;
|
|
yet their span is but toil and trouble;
|
|
they are soon gone, and we fly away.
|
|
11 Who considers the power of your anger,
|
|
and your wrath according to the fear of you?
|
|
12 So teach us to number our days
|
|
that we may get a heart of wisdom.
|
|
13 Return, O Lord! How long?
|
|
Have pity on your servants!
|
|
14 Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love,
|
|
that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
|
|
15 Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us,
|
|
and for as many years as we have seen evil.
|
|
16 Let your work be shown to your servants,
|
|
and your glorious power to their children.
|
|
17 Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us,
|
|
and establish the work of our hands upon us;
|
|
yes, establish the work of our hands! |
