Psalms:90
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Lord ,
you have been our dwelling place in all generations .
*
Before the mountains were brought forth ,
before even you had formed the earth and the world ,
even from everlasting to everlasting ,
you are God .
*
You turn man to destruction ;
and says ,
Return ,
all of you children of men .
*
For a thousand years in your sight are but as yesterday when it is past ,
and as a watch in the night .
*
You carry them away as with a flood ;
they are as 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 are consumed by yours anger ,
and by your wrath are we troubled .
*
You have set our iniquities before you ,
our secret sins in the light of your countenance .
*
For all our days are passed away in your wrath :
we spend our years as a tale that is told .
*
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 .
*
Who knows the power of yours anger ?
even according to your fear ,
so is your wrath .
*
So teach us to number our days ,
that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom .
*
Return ,
O LORD ,
how long ?
and let it repent you concerning your servants .
*
O satisfy us early with your mercy ;
that we may rejoice and be glad all our days .
*
Make us glad according to the days wherein you have afflicted us ,
and the years wherein we have seen evil .
*
Let your work appear unto your servants ,
and your glory unto their children .
*
And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us :
and establish you the work of our hands upon us ;
yea ,
the work of our hands establish you it .
