Psalms:90
Seeker Overlay ON
*
O Lord ,
You have been our dwelling place from generation to generation .
*
Before the mountains were brought forth ,
or ever You had formed the earth and the world ,
even from everlasting to everlasting ,
You are the Mighty God .
*
You return man to dust ,
and say ,
Return ,
O sons of men .
*
For a thousand years in Your sight are like yesterday when it is past ,
and as 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 blossoms and sprouts ;
in the evening it is cut down and dries up .
*
For we have been consumed by Your anger ,
and by Your wrath we have been terrified .
*
You have set our iniquities before You ,
our secrets in the light of Your countenance .
*
For all our days have turned away in Your wrath ;
we finish our years with a sigh .
*
The days of our years are seventy years ;
and if by reason of vigor they are eighty years ,
yet their boast is toil and wickedness ;
for it is soon cut off ,
and we fly away .
*
Who knows the power of Your anger ?
For as is the fear of You ,
so is Your wrath .
*
So teach us to number our days ,
that we may bring about a heart of wisdom .
*
Return ,
O Jehovah !
How long ?
And have compassion on Your servants .
*
O satisfy us early with Your mercy ,
that we may exult and be glad all our days !
*
Make us glad according to the days in which we have been afflicted ,
the years in which we have seen evil .
*
Let Your work appear unto Your servants ,
and Your glory unto their children .
*
And let the beauty of Jehovah our God be upon us ,
and establish the work of our hands upon us ;
yea ,
establish the work of our hands .
