Psalms 90

1[A Prayer of Moses the man of Elohim.] Lord, you hast been our dwelling place in all generations. 2Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, you Elohim. 3you turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men. 4For a thousand years in your sight as yesterday when it is past, and a watch in the night. 5you carriest them away as with a flood; they are a sleep: in the morning like grass groweth up. 6In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth. 7For we are consumed by your anger, and by your wrath are we troubled. 8you hast set our iniquities before you, our secret in the light of your countenance. 9For all our days are passed away in your wrath: we spend our years as a tale . 10The days of our years threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength fourscore years, yet their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. 11Who knoweth the power of your anger? even according to your fear, your wrath. 12So teach to number our days, that we may apply hearts unto wisdom. 13Return, O Yahuah, how long? and let it repent you concerning your servants. 14O satisfy us early with your mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. 15Make us glad according to the days you hast afflicted us, the years we have seen evil. 16Let your work appear unto your servants, and your glory unto their children. 17And let the beauty of the Yahuah our Elohim be upon us: and establish you the work of our hands upon us; yes, the work of our hands establish you it.
