# 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. |
