Psalm 90
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Lord, through all the generations
|
|
|
|
you have been our home!
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Before the mountains were born,
|
|
|
|
before you gave birth to the earth and the world,
|
|
|
|
from beginning to end, you are God.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. You turn people back to dust, saying,
|
|
|
|
"Return to dust, you mortals!"
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. For you, a thousand years are as a passing day,
|
|
|
|
as brief as a few night hours.
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. You sweep people away like dreams that disappear.
|
|
|
|
They are like grass that springs up in the morning.
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. In the morning it blooms and flourishes,
|
|
|
|
but by evening it is dry and withered.
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. We wither beneath your anger;
|
|
|
|
we are overwhelmed by your fury.
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. You spread out our sins before you--
|
|
our secret sins--and you see them all.
|
|
|
|
9. We live our lives beneath your wrath,
|
|
|
|
ending our years with a groan.
|
|
|
|
|
|
10. Seventy years are given to us!
|
|
|
|
Some even live to eighty.
|
|
|
|
But even the best years are filled with pain and trouble;
|
|
|
|
soon they disappear, and we fly away.
|
|
|
|
|
|
11. Who can comprehend the power of your anger?
|
|
|
|
Your wrath is as awesome as the fear you deserve.
|
|
|
|
|
|
12. Teach us to realize the brevity of life,
|
|
|
|
so that we may grow in wisdom.
|
|
|
|
|
|
13. O LORD, come back to us!
|
|
|
|
How long will you delay?
|
|
|
|
Take pity on your servants!
|
|
|
|
|
|
14. Satisfy us each morning with your unfailing love,
|
|
|
|
so we may sing for joy to the end of our lives.
|
|
|
|
|
|
15. Give us gladness in proportion to our former misery!
|
|
|
|
Replace the evil years with good.
|
|
|
|
|
|
16. Let us, your servants, see you work again;
|
|
|
|
let our children see your glory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
17. And may the Lord our God show us his approval
|
|
|
|
and make our efforts successful.
|
|
|
|
Yes, make our efforts successful!
