Bible, King James Version
Psalms
Pss.90
[1] LORD, thou hast been our dwelling place in all
generations.
[2] Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou
hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to
everlasting, thou art God.
[3] Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return,
ye children of men.
[4] For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday
when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
[5] Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a
sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.
[6] In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the
evening it is cut down, and withereth.
[7] For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath
are we troubled.
[8] Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret
sins in the light of thy countenance.
[9] For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we
spend our years as a tale that is told.
[10] The days of our years are threescore years and ten;
and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is
their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we
fly away.
[11] Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according
to thy fear, so is thy wrath.
[12] So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our
hearts unto wisdom.
[13] Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent thee
concerning thy servants.
[14] O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may
rejoice and be glad all our days.
[15] Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast
afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil.
[16] Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory
unto their children.
[17] And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us:
and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work
of our hands establish thou it.
