JPS - Psalms - 90

90:1  A Prayer of Moses the man of G-d. L-rd, Thou hast been our dwelling-place in all generations.

90:2  Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever Thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, Thou art G-d.

90:3  Thou turnest man to contrition; and sayest: 'Return, ye children of men.'

90:4  For a thousand years in Thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.

90:5  Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep; in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.

90:6  In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.

90:7  For we are consumed in Thine anger, and by Thy wrath are we hurried away.

90:8  Thou hast set our iniquities before Thee, our secret sins in the light of Thy countenance.

90:9  For all our days are passed away in Thy wrath; we bring our years to an end as a tale that is told.

90:10  The days of our years are threescore years and ten, or even by reason of strength fourscore years; yet is their pride but travail and vanity; for it is speedily gone, and we fly away.

90:11  Who knoweth the power of Thine anger, and Thy wrath according to the fear that is due unto Thee?

90:12  So teach us to number our days, that we may get us a heart of wisdom.

90:13  Return, O HaShem; how long? And let it repent Thee concerning Thy servants.

90:14  O satisfy us in the morning with Thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

90:15  Make us glad according to the days wherein Thou hast afflicted us, according to the years wherein we have seen evil.

90:16  Let Thy work appear unto Thy servants, and Thy glory upon their children.

90:17  And let the graciousness of the L-rd our G-d be upon us; establish Thou also upon us the work of our hands; yea, the work of our hands establish Thou it.
