Psalms:90

* Lord , You have been our dwelling place in all generations . * Before the mountains were brought forth , Or ever You had formed the earth and the world , Even from everlasting to everlasting , You are God . * You turn man to destruction , And say , "Return , O children of men ". * For a thousand years in Your sight Are like yesterday when it is past , And like a watch in the night . * You carry them away like a flood ; They are like a sleep . In the morning they are like grass which grows up : * In the morning it flourishes and grows up ; In the evening it is cut down and withers . * For we have been consumed by Your anger , And by Your wrath we are terrified . * You have set our iniquities before You , Our secret sins in the light of Your countenance . * For all our days have passed away in Your wrath ; We finish our years like a sigh . * The days of our lives are seventy years ; And if by reason of strength they are eighty years , Yet their boast is only labor and sorrow ; For it is soon cut off , and we fly away . * Who knows the power of Your anger ? For as the fear of You , so is Your wrath . * So teach us to number our days , That we may gain a heart of wisdom . * Return , O LORD ! How long ? And have compassion on Your servants . * Oh , satisfy us early with Your mercy , That we may rejoice and be glad all our days ! * Make us glad according to the days in which You have afflicted us , The years in which we have seen evil . * Let Your work appear to Your servants , And Your glory to their children . * And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us , And establish the work of our hands for us ; Yes , establish the work of our hands .
