Psalm 90
NIV Parallel ISV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
New International VersionInternational Standard Version
1A prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, you have been our dwelling place throughout all generations.1Lord, you've been our refuge from generation to generation.
2Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the whole world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.2Before the mountains were formed or the earth and the world were brought forth, you are God from eternity to eternity.
3You turn people back to dust, saying, "Return to dust, you mortals."3You return people to dust merely by saying, "Return, you mortals!"
4A thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night.4One thousand years in your sight are but a single day that passes by, just like a night watch.
5Yet you sweep people away in the sleep of death-- they are like the new grass of the morning:5You will sweep them away while they are asleep— by morning they are like growing grass.
6In the morning it springs up new, but by evening it is dry and withered.6In the morning it blossoms and is renewed, but toward evening, it fades and withers.
7We are consumed by your anger and terrified by your indignation.7Indeed, we are consumed by your anger and terrified by your wrath.
8You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence.8You have set our iniquities before you, what we have concealed in the light of your presence.
9All our days pass away under your wrath; we finish our years with a moan.9All our days pass away in your wrath; our years fade away and end like a sigh.
10Our days may come to seventy years, or eighty, if our strength endures; yet the best of them are but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away.10We live for 70 years, or 80 years if we're healthy, yet even in the prime years there are troubles and sorrow. They pass by quickly and we fly away.
11If only we knew the power of your anger! Your wrath is as great as the fear that is your due.11Who can know the intensity of your anger? Because our fear of you matches your wrath,
12Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.12teach us to keep account of our days so we may develop inner wisdom.
13Relent, LORD! How long will it be? Have compassion on your servants.13Please return, LORD! When will it be? Comfort your servants.
14Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.14Satisfy us in the morning with your gracious love so we may sing for joy and rejoice every day.
15Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen trouble.15Cause us to rejoice throughout the time when you have afflicted us, the years when we have known trouble.
16May your deeds be shown to your servants, your splendor to their children.16May your awesome deeds be revealed to your servants, as well as your splendor to their children.
17May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us; establish the work of our hands for us-- yes, establish the work of our hands.17May your favor be on us, Lord our God; make our endeavors successful; yes, make our endeavors secure!
