Psalms 90

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

²Before the mountains were brought forth,

³Thou turnest man to destruction;

⁴For a thousand years in thy sight

⁵Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep:

⁶In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up;

⁷For we are consumed by thine anger,

⁸Thou hast set our iniquities before thee,

⁹For all our days are passed away in thy wrath:

¹⁰The days of our years are threescore years and ten;

¹¹Who knoweth the power of thine anger?

¹²So teach us to number our days,

¹³Return, O Lord, how long?

¹⁴O satisfy us early with thy mercy;

¹⁵Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us,

¹⁶Let thy work appear unto thy servants,

¹⁷And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us:
