Psalms 90

¹O Lord, you have always been our home.

²Before you created the hills or brought the world into being, you were eternally God, and will be God forever.

³You tell us to return to what we were; you change us back to dust.

⁴A thousand years to you are like one day; they are like yesterday, already gone, like a short hour in the night.

⁵You carry us away like a flood; we last no longer than a dream. We are like weeds that sprout in the morning,

⁶that grow and burst into bloom, then dry up and die in the evening.

⁷We are destroyed by your anger; we are terrified by your fury.

⁸You place our sins before you, our secret sins where you can see them.

⁹Our life is cut short by your anger; it fades away like a whisper.

¹⁰Seventy years is all we have--- eighty years, if we are strong; yet all they bring us is trouble and sorrow; life is soon over, and we are gone.

¹¹Who has felt the full power of your anger? Who knows what fear your fury can bring?

¹²Teach us how short our life is, so that we may become wise.

¹³How much longer will your anger last? Have pity, O LORD, on your servants!

¹⁴Fill us each morning with your constant love, so that we may sing and be glad all our life.

¹⁵Give us now as much happiness as the sadness you gave us during all our years of misery.

¹⁶Let us, your servants, see your mighty deeds; let our descendants see your glorious might.

¹⁷Lord our God, may your blessings be with us. Give us success in all we do!
