Psalm 90
NLT Parallel NIV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
New Living TranslationNew International Version
1Lord, through all the generations you have been our home!1A prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, you have been our dwelling place throughout all generations.
2Before the mountains were born, before you gave birth to the earth and the world, from beginning to end, you are God.2Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the whole world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
3You turn people back to dust, saying, “Return to dust, you mortals!”3You turn people back to dust, saying, "Return to dust, you mortals."
4For you, a thousand years are as a passing day, as brief as a few night hours.4A thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night.
5You sweep people away like dreams that disappear. They are like grass that springs up in the morning.5Yet you sweep people away in the sleep of death-- they are like the new grass of the morning:
6In the morning it blooms and flourishes, but by evening it is dry and withered.6In the morning it springs up new, but by evening it is dry and withered.
7We wither beneath your anger; we are overwhelmed by your fury.7We are consumed by your anger and terrified by your indignation.
8You spread out our sins before you— our secret sins—and you see them all.8You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence.
9We live our lives beneath your wrath, ending our years with a groan.9All our days pass away under your wrath; we finish our years with a moan.
10Seventy years are given to us! Some even live to eighty. But even the best years are filled with pain and trouble; soon they disappear, and we fly away.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.
11Who can comprehend the power of your anger? Your wrath is as awesome as the fear you deserve.11If only we knew the power of your anger! Your wrath is as great as the fear that is your due.
12Teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom.12Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
13O LORD, come back to us! How long will you delay? Take pity on your servants!13Relent, LORD! How long will it be? Have compassion on your servants.
14Satisfy us each morning with your unfailing love, so we may sing for joy to the end of our lives.14Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.
15Give us gladness in proportion to our former misery! Replace the evil years with good.15Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen trouble.
16Let us, your servants, see you work again; let our children see your glory.16May your deeds be shown to your servants, your splendor to their children.
17And may the Lord our God show us his approval and make our efforts successful. Yes, make our efforts successful!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.
