Psalms 90

1 Lord, thou have been our dwelling-place in all generations.

Lord, you have been our dwelling place in all generations.

2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or thou had ever formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou are God.

Before the mountains were brought forth, before even you had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.

3 Thou turn man to destruction, and say, Return, ye sons of men.

You turn man to destruction; and say, Return, all of you children of men.

4 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.

For a thousand years in your sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.

5 Thou carry them away as with a flood. They are as a sleep. In the morning they are like grass which grows up.

You carry them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which grows up.

6 In the morning it flourishes, and grows up. In the evening it is cut down, and withers.

In the morning it flourishes, and grows up; in the evening it is cut down, and withers.

7 For we are consumed in thine anger, and in thy wrath are we troubled.

For we are consumed by your anger, and by your wrath are we troubled.

8 Thou have set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.

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

9 For all our days are passed away in thy wrath. We bring our years to an end as a sigh.

For all our days are passed away in your wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told.

10 The days of our years are threescore years and ten, or even by reason of strength fourscore years, yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, for it is soon gone, and we fly away.

The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

11 Who knows the power of thine anger, and thy wrath according to the fear that is due to thee?

Who knows the power of your anger? even according to your fear, so is your wrath.

12 So teach us to number our days, that we may get us a heart of wisdom.

So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

13 Return, O Jehovah. How long? And relent concerning thy servants.

Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent you concerning your servants.

14 O satisfy us in the morning with thy loving kindness, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

O satisfy us early with your mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

15 Make us glad according to the days in which thou have afflicted us, and the years in which we have seen evil.

Make us glad according to the days wherein you have afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil.

16 Let thy work appear to thy servants, and thy glory upon their sons.

Let your work appear unto your servants, and your glory unto their children.

17 And let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us. And establish thou the work of our hands upon us, yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.

And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish you the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish you it.
