PsalmsPsalm 90 |
|
1 LORD, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. |
|
2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. |
|
3 Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men. |
|
4 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night. |
|
5 The span of their life will be as a sleep; in the morning they are like grass which changes. |
|
6 In the morning it flourishes and grows up; in the evening it is cut down and withers. |
|
7 For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled. |
|
8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, the sins of our youth in the light of thy countenance. |
|
9 For all our days are passed away in thy wrath; we spend our years in emptiness. |
|
10 The years of our lives are threescore and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet most of them are labor and sorrow; for life is soon cut off and we fly away. |
|
11 Who knows the power of thine anger and the fear of thy wrath? |
|
12 So teach us to number our days that we may apply our hearts to wisdom. |
|
13 Return, O LORD. How long? Wouldst thou not comfort thy servants? |
|
14 O satisfy us early with thy mercy, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. |
|
15 Make us glad because our wickedness is dead, and the years wherein we have seen affliction. |
|
16 Let thy work appear to thy servants, and thy glory to their children. |
|
17 And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us; for the work of his hands made us, yea, he made us by the work of his hands. |
