Psalms 90:1-9 ▼

1 A Prayer of Moses, the man of God. Lord, You have been a dwelling place for us, in generation and generation.

2 In the time before the mountains were brought forth, or You formed the earth and the world, and from forever even to forever, You are God.

3 You return man to dust and say, “Return, O sons of men!”

4 For a thousand years in your eyes are like a day past that passes, or a watch in the night.

5 You sweep them away; they are in their sleep like the grass that sprouts up in the morning.

6 In the morning it blossoms and flourishes; in the evening it is cut down and withers.

7 For we are consumed by Your anger, and by Your wrath we are terrified.

8 You have set our iniquities before You, our hidden things in the light of Your face.

9 For all our days decline in Your fury; we finish our years as a sigh.
