Psalm 90  American Standard Version

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