CHAPTER 90

1
A prayer
of Moses,
the man
of God.
Lord,
You
have been
our dwelling place
through all
generations.
2
Before
the mountains
were born,
or You brought forth
the earth
and world,
from everlasting
to everlasting,
You
are God.
3
You return
man
to
dust
and say,
“Return,
O sons
of mortals.”
4
For
in Your sight
a thousand
years
are but
a day
that
passes,
or a watch
of the night.
5
You whisk them away
in their sleep;
they are
like the new grass
of the morning—
6
in the morning
it springs up
new;
by evening
it fades
and withers.
7
For
we are consumed
by Your anger
and terrified
by Your wrath.
8
You have set
our iniquities
before You,
our secret sins
in the light
of Your presence.
9
For
all
our days
decline
in Your fury;
we finish
our years
with
a sigh.
10
The length of our days
is seventy
years—
or eighty
if we are strong—
yet their pride
is but labor
and sorrow,
for
they quickly
pass,
and we fly away.
11
Who
knows
the power
of Your anger?
Your wrath
matches the fear You are due.
12
So
teach
us to number
our days,
that we may present
a heart
of wisdom.
13
Return,
O LORD!
How long will it be?
Have compassion
on
Your servants.
14
Satisfy
us in the morning
with Your loving devotion,
that we may sing for joy
and be glad
all
our days.
15
Make us glad
for as many days
as You have afflicted us,
for as many years
as we have seen
evil.
16
May Your work
be shown
to
Your servants,
and Your splendor
to
their children.
17
May the favor
of the Lord
our God
rest
upon us;
establish
for us
the work
of our hands—
establish
the work
of our hands!
