Psalms 90

God’s Eternity and the Brevity of Human Life.

A Prayer of ^{▼▼Deut 33:1}Moses, the man of God.

1 Lord, You have been our ^{▼▼Or hiding place; some ancient mss place of refuge
,} ^cdwelling place in all generations.
2 Before ^dthe mountains were born
^{▼▼Or And}Or You ^fgave birth to the earth and the world,
Even ^gfrom everlasting to everlasting, You are God.

3 You ^hturn mortals back into dust
And say, “Return, you sons of mankind.”
4 For ⁱa thousand years in Your sight
Are like ^jyesterday when it passes by,
^{▼▼Or And}Or like a ^lwatch in the night.
5 You ^mhave ^{▼▼Or flooded}swept them away like a flood, they ^{▼▼Lit become asleep
,} ^pfall asleep;
In the morning they are like ^qgrass that ^{▼▼Or passes away}sprouts anew.
6 In the morning it ^sflourishes and ^{▼▼Or passes away}sprouts anew;
Toward evening it ^uwilts and ^vwithers away.

7 For we have been ^wconsumed by Your anger,
And we have been terrified by Your wrath.
8 You have ^xplaced our guilty deeds before You,
Our ^yhidden sins in the light of Your presence.
9 For ^zall our days have dwindled away in Your fury;
We have finished our years like a ^{▼▼Or whisper}sigh.
10 As for the days of our ^{▼▼Lit years}life, ^{▼▼Lit in them are}they contain seventy years,
Or if due to strength, ^adeighty years,
Yet their pride is only ^aetrouble and tragedy;
For it quickly passes, and we ^afdisappear.
11 Who ^{▼▼Or knows}understands the ^ahpower of Your anger
And Your fury, according to the ^aifear ^{▼▼Lit of You}that is due You?
12 So ^akteach us to number our days,
That we may ^{▼▼Lit bring in
,} ^ampresent to You a heart of wisdom.

13 Do ^anreturn, Lord; ^aohow long will it be?
And ^{▼▼Or repent in regard to}be ^aqsorry for Your servants.
14 ^arSatisfy us in the morning with Your graciousness,
That we may ^assing for joy and rejoice all our days.
15 ^atMake us glad ^{▼▼Or as many days as}according to the days You have afflicted us,
And the ^avyears we have seen ^{▼▼Or trouble}evil.
16 Let Your ^axwork appear to Your servants
And Your ^aymajesty ^{▼▼Or upon}to their children.
17 May the ^bakindness of the Lord our God be upon us;
And ^{▼▼Or give permanence to
,} ^bcconfirm for us the work of our hands;
Yes, ^{▼▼Or give permanence to}confirm the work of our hands.
