Psalms:90

Seeker Overlay ON

* O Jehovah , you have been our refuge throughout every generation . * Before the mountains were born , before you gave birth to the earth and its inhabitants , you are God from everlasting to everlasting . * You turn men back into dust and say : »Return , O sons of men !« * In your sight a thousand years are like a single day , like yesterday , already past like an hour in the night . * You sweep mortals away in the sleep of death . They sprout again in the morning like grass . * In the morning they blossom and sprout . In the evening they fade and wither away . * Your anger consumes us . We are troubled by your rage . * You set our sins in front of you . You put our secret sins in the light of your presence . * Indeed , all our days slip away because of your fury . We live out our years like one long sigh . * The days of our lives are seventy or eighty years if we are in good health . But the best of them bring trouble and misery . Indeed , they are soon gone , and we fly away . * Who understands the power of your anger , and your fury according to the reverence that is due you ? * Teach us to number each of our days so that we may present to you a heart of wisdom . * Return , O Jehovah ! How long ? Change your plans about us , your servants . * Satisfy us every morning with your loving kindness so that we may sing for joy and rejoice all our days . * Make us rejoice for as many days as you have made us suffer , for as many years as we have experienced evil . * Let your servants see what you can do . Let our children see your majesty . * Let the kindness of Jehovah our God be with us . Confirm for us the work of our hands . Yes , confirm the work of our hands .
