Psalms 90:1-9 ▼

1 A Prayer of Moses, the man of God. Lord, You have been our dwelling place from generation to generation.

2 Before the mountains were born Or You brought forth the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.

3 You turn man back into dust And say, “Return, O sons of men.”

4 For a thousand years in Your sight Are like yesterday when it passes by, Or as a watch in the night.

5 You have swept them away like a flood, they fall asleep; In the morning they are like grass which sprouts anew.

6 In the morning it blossoms and sprouts anew; Toward evening it withers away and dries up.

7 For we have been consumed by Your anger And by Your wrath we have been dismayed.

8 You have set our iniquities before You, Our secret sins in the light of Your presence.

9 For all our days have declined in Your fury; We have finished our years like a sigh.
