Psalm 90:1-17
From Everlasting to Everlasting

0 A Prayer of Moses the man of God.

0:

1 Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.

1:

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.

2:

3 Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men.

3:

4 For a thousand years in thy sight [are but] as yesterday when it is past, and [as] a watch in the night.

4:

5 Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are [as] a sleep: in the morning [they are] like grass [which] groweth up.

5:

6 In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.

6:

7 For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.

7:

8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret [sins] in the light of thy countenance.

8:

9 For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale [that is told].

9:

10 The days of our years [are] threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength [they be] fourscore years, yet [is] their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

10:

11 Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, [so is] thy wrath.

11:

12 So teach [us] to number our days, that we may apply [our] hearts unto wisdom.

12:

13 Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.

13:

14 O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

14:

15 Make us glad according to the days [wherein] thou hast afflicted us, [and] the years [wherein] we have seen evil.

15:

16 Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children.

16:

17 And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.

17:
