Psalms 90:1-9 ▼

1 A Prayer by Moses, the man of God. Lord, you have been our dwelling place for all generations.

2 Before the mountains were born, before you had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.

3 You turn man to destruction, saying, “Return, you children of men.”

4 For a thousand years in your sight are just like yesterday when it is past, like a watch in the night.

5 You sweep them away as they sleep. In the morning they sprout like new grass.

6 In the morning it sprouts and springs up. By evening, it is withered and dry.

7 For we are consumed in your anger. We are troubled in your wrath.

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

9 For all our days have passed away in your wrath. We bring our years to an end as a sigh.
