Psalm 90
|
|
| 90:1
Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. |
|
| 90:2
Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the
earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. |
|
| 90:3
Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men. |
|
| 90:4
For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past,
and as a watch in the night. |
|
| 90:5
Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the
morning they are like grass which groweth up. |
|
| 90:6
In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut
down, and withereth. |
|
| 90:7
For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled. |
|
| 90:8
Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of
thy countenance. |
|
| 90:9
For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a
tale that is told. |
|
| 90:10
The days of our years
are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they
be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon
cut off, and we fly away. |
 (90:10)
"The days of our years
are threescore years and ten."
How long is the human lifespan?
|
| 90:11
Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, so is
thy wrath. |
|
| 90:12
So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. |
|
| 90:13
Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants. |
|
| 90:14
O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our
days. |
|
| 90:15
Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the
years wherein we have seen evil. |
|
| 90:16
Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children. |
|
| 90:17
And let the beauty 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.
