# Psalm 90 A Prayer of Moses, the man of God.
<a id="1" name="1"></a>
1. Lord, you have been our dwelling place in all generations.
<a id="2" name="2"></a>
2. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
<a id="3" name="3"></a>
3. You return man to dust and say, “Return, O children of man!”
<a id="4" name="4"></a>
4. For a thousand years in your sight are but as yesterday when it is past, or as a watch in the night.
<a id="5" name="5"></a>
5. You sweep them away as with a flood; they are like a dream, like grass that is renewed in the morning:
<a id="6" name="6"></a>
6. in the morning it flourishes and is renewed; in the evening it fades and withers.
<a id="7" name="7"></a>
7. For we are brought to an end by your anger; by your wrath we are dismayed.
<a id="8" name="8"></a>
8. You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence.
<a id="9" name="9"></a>
9. For all our days pass away under your wrath; we bring our years to an end like a sigh.
<a id="10" name="10"></a>
10. The years of our life are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty; yet their span is but toil and trouble; they are soon gone, and we fly away.
<a id="11" name="11"></a>
11. Who considers the power of your anger, and your wrath according to the fear of you?
<a id="12" name="12"></a>
12. So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.
<a id="13" name="13"></a>
13. Return, O LORD! How long? Have pity on your servants!
<a id="14" name="14"></a>
14. Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
<a id="15" name="15"></a>
15. Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, and for as many years as we have seen evil.
<a id="16" name="16"></a>
16. Let your work be shown to your servants, and your glorious power to their children.
<a id="17" name="17"></a>
17. Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands upon us; yes, establish the work of our hands!
