Psalm 90 - American Standard Version 20151 {\b A Prayer of Moses the man of God.}\par\par\tab Lord, thou hast been our dwelling-place\par\tab In all generations. 2 Before the mountains were brought forth,\par\tab Or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world,\par\tab Even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. 3 Thou turnest man to destruction,\par\tab And sayest, Return, ye children of men. 4 For a thousand years in thy sight\par\tab Are but as yesterday when it is past,\par\tab And as a watch in the night. 5 Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep:\par\tab In the morning they are like grass which groweth up. 6 In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up;\par\tab In the evening it is cut down, and withereth. 7 For we are consumed in thine anger,\par\tab And in thy wrath are we troubled. 8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee,\par\tab Our secret sins in the light of thy countenance. 9 For all our days are passed away in thy wrath:\par\tab We bring our years to an end as a sigh. 10 The days of our years are threescore years and ten,\par\tab Or even by reason of strength fourscore years;\par\tab Yet is their pride but labor and sorrow;\par\tab For it is soon gone, and we fly away. 11 Who knoweth the power of thine anger,\par\tab And thy wrath according to the fear that is due unto thee? 12 So teach us to number our days,\par\tab That we may get us a heart of wisdom. 13 Return, O Jehovah; how long?\par\tab And let it repent thee concerning thy servants. 14 Oh satisfy us in the morning with thy lovingkindness,\par\tab That we may rejoice and be glad all our days. 15 Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us,\par\tab And the years wherein we have seen evil. 16 Let thy work appear unto thy servants,\par\tab And thy glory upon their children. 17 And let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us;\par\tab And establish thou the work of our hands upon us;\par\tab Yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.\par |
