Chapter 90
Psal GodsWord 90:1  O Lord, you have been our refuge throughout every generation.
Psal GodsWord 90:2  Before the mountains were born, before you gave birth to the earth and the world, you were God. You are God from everlasting to everlasting.
Psal GodsWord 90:3  You turn mortals back into dust and say, "Return, descendants of Adam."
Psal GodsWord 90:4  Indeed, in your sight a thousand years are like a single day, like yesterday--already past-- like an hour in the night.
Psal GodsWord 90:5  You sweep mortals away. They are a dream. They sprout again in the morning like cut grass.
Psal GodsWord 90:6  In the morning they blossom and sprout. In the evening they wither and dry up.
Psal GodsWord 90:7  Indeed, your anger consumes us. Your rage terrifies us.
Psal GodsWord 90:8  You have set our sins in front of you. You have put our secret sins in the light of your presence.
Psal GodsWord 90:9  Indeed, all our days slip away because of your fury. We live out our years like one long sigh.
Psal GodsWord 90:10  Each of us lives for 70 years-- or even 80 if we are in good health. But the best of them bring trouble and misery. Indeed, they are soon gone, and we fly away.
Psal GodsWord 90:11  Who fully understands the power of your anger? A person fears you more when he better understands your fury.
Psal GodsWord 90:12  Teach us to number each of our days so that we may grow in wisdom.
Psal GodsWord 90:13  Return, LORD! How long...? Change your plans about us, your servants.
Psal GodsWord 90:14  Satisfy us every morning with your mercy so that we may sing joyfully and rejoice all our days.
Psal GodsWord 90:15  Make us rejoice for as many days as you have made us suffer, for as many years as we have experienced evil.
Psal GodsWord 90:16  Let us, your servants, see what you can do. Let our children see your glorious power.
Psal GodsWord 90:17  Let the kindness of the Lord our God be with us. Make us successful in everything we do. Yes, make us successful in everything we do.
