| Chapter 90 |
1 |
Lord, thou hast been our dwelling-place In all generations. -
|
2 |
Before the mountains were brought forth, Or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. -
|
3 |
Thou turnest man to destruction, And sayest, Return, ye children of men. -
|
4 |
For a thousand years in thy sight Are but as yesterday when it is past, And as a watch in the night. -
|
5 |
Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: In the morning they are like grass which groweth up. -
|
6 |
In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; In the evening it is cut down, and withereth. -
|
7 |
For we are consumed in thine anger, And in thy wrath are we troubled. -
|
8 |
Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, Our secret sins in the light of thy countenance. -
|
9 |
For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: We bring our years to an end as a sigh. -
|
10 |
The days of our years are threescore years and ten, Or even by reason of strength fourscore years; Yet is their pride but labor and sorrow; For it is soon gone, and we fly away. -
|
11 |
Who knoweth the power of thine anger, And thy wrath according to the fear that is due unto thee? -
|
12 |
So teach us to number our days, That we may get us a heart of wisdom. -
|
13 |
Return, O Jehovah; how long? And let it repent thee concerning thy servants. -
|
14 |
Oh satisfy us in the morning with thy lovingkindness, That we may rejoice and be glad all our days. -
|
15 |
Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, And the years wherein we have seen evil. -
|
16 |
Let thy work appear unto thy servants, And thy glory upon their children. -
|
17 |
And let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us; And establish thou the work of our hands upon us; Yea, the work of our hands establish thou it. Psalm 91 -
