90 Psalms
[A Prayer of Moses, the man of God.] <p> MgnEdit<p>
1 LORD, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.
BOOK 4. (Ps.90-106) Of God & Man. <DD> MgnEdit<p>
2 Before the mountains were brought forth,
or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world,
from everlasting to everlasting thou art God.
 MgnEdit<p>
3 Thou turnest man back to the dust,
and sayest, "Turn back, O children of men!"
<p> MgnEdit<p>
4 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past,
or as a watch in the night.
 MgnEdit<p>
5 Thou dost sweep men away; they are like a dream,
like grass which is renewed in the morning:
<p> MgnEdit<p>
6 in the morning it flourishes and is renewed;
in the evening it fades and withers.
 MgnEdit<p>
7 For we are consumed by thy anger;
by thy wrath we are overwhelmed.
<p> MgnEdit<p>
8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee,
our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.
 MgnEdit<p>
9 For all our days pass away under thy wrath,
our years come to an end like a sigh.
<p> MgnEdit<p>
10 The years of our life are threescore and ten,
or even by reason of strength fourscore; yet their span is but toil and trouble; they are soon gone, and we fly away. 		MgnEdit<p>
11 Who considers the power of thy anger,
and thy wrath according to the fear of thee?
 MgnEdit<p>
12 So teach us to number our days
that we may get a heart of wisdom.
 MgnEdit<p>
13 Return, O LORD! How long?
Have pity on thy servants!
<p> MgnEdit<p>
14 Satisfy us in the morning with thy steadfast love,
that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
 MgnEdit<p>
15 Make us glad as many days as thou hast afflicted us,
and as many years as we have seen evil.
 MgnEdit<p>
16 Let thy work be manifest to thy servants,
and thy glorious power to their children.
 MgnEdit<p>
17 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.
