Psalms:90:3-17
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Thou turnest man to destruction ;
and sayest ,
Return ,
ye children of men .
*
For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past ,
and as a watch in the night .
*
Thou carriest them away as with a flood ;
they are as a sleep :
in the morning they are like grass which groweth up .
*
In the morning it flourisheth ,
and groweth up ;
in the evening it is cut down ,
and withereth .
*
For we are consumed by thine anger ,
and by thy wrath are we troubled .
*
Thou hast set our iniquities before thee ,
our secret sins in the light of thy countenance .
*
For all our days are passed away in thy 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 knoweth the power of thine anger ?
even according to thy fear ,
so is thy 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 thee concerning thy servants .
*
O satisfy us early with thy mercy ;
that we may rejoice and be glad all our days .
*
Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us ,
and the years wherein we have seen evil .
*
Let thy work appear unto thy servants ,
and thy glory unto their children .
*
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 .
