Psalm 90 - New International Version, 2011 bible

Psalm 90

¹A prayer of Moses the man of God. [1] Lord, you have been our dwelling place throughout all generations.

²Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the whole world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.

³You turn people back to dust, saying, “Return to dust, you mortals.”

⁴A thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night.

⁵Yet you sweep people away in the sleep of death — they are like the new grass of the morning:

⁶In the morning it springs up new, but by evening it is dry and withered.

⁷We are consumed by your anger and terrified by your indignation.

⁸You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence.

⁹All our days pass away under your wrath; we finish our years with a moan.

¹⁰Our days may come to seventy years, or eighty, if our strength endures; yet the best of them are but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away.

¹¹If only we knew the power of your anger! Your wrath is as great as the fear that is your due.

¹²Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.

¹³Relent, LORD! How long will it be? Have compassion on your servants.

¹⁴Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.

¹⁵Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen trouble.

¹⁶May your deeds be shown to your servants, your splendor to their children.

¹⁷May the favor [175] of the Lord our God rest on us; establish the work of our hands for us — yes, establish the work of our hands.
