Psalms 90:1-9 ▼

1 A PRAYER OF MOSES, THE MAN OF GOD. Lord, You have been a habitation, || To us—in generation and generation,

2 Before mountains were brought forth, || And You form the earth and the world, || Even from age to age You [are] God.

3 You turn man to a bruised thing, || And say, Return, you sons of men.

4 For one thousand years in Your eyes [are] as yesterday, || For it passes on, indeed, [as] a watch by night.

5 You have inundated them, they are asleep, || In the morning he changes as grass.

6 In the morning it flourishes, and has changed, || At evening it is cut down, and has withered.

7 For we were consumed in Your anger, || And we have been troubled in Your fury.

8 You have set our iniquities before You, || Our hidden things at the light of Your face,

9 For all our days pined away in Your wrath, || We consumed our years as a meditation.
