NHEBJE - Psalms - 90

90:1  Lord, you have been our dwelling place for all generations.

90:2  Before the mountains were brought forth, before you had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.

90:3  You turn man to destruction, saying, "Return, you children of men."

90:4  For a thousand years in your sight are just like yesterday when it is past, like a watch in the night.

90:5  You sweep them away as they sleep. In the morning they sprout like new grass.

90:6  In the morning it sprouts and springs up. By evening, it is withered and dry.

90:7  For we are consumed in your anger. We are troubled in your wrath.

90:8  You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence.

90:9  For all our days have passed away in your wrath. We bring our years to an end as a sigh.

90:10  The days of our years are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty years; yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, for it passes quickly, and we fly away.

90:11  Who knows the power of your anger, your wrath according to the fear that is due to you?

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

90:13  Relent, Jehovah! How long? Have compassion on your servants!

90:14  Satisfy us in the morning with your loving kindness, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

90:15  Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen evil.

90:16  Let your work appear to your servants; your glory to their children.

90:17  Let the favor of the Lord our God be on us; establish the work of our hands for us; yes, establish the work of our hands.
