Psalms 90
1A PRAYER OF MOSES, THE MAN OF GOD. Lord, You have been a habitation, || To us—in generation and generation,
2Before mountains were brought forth, || And You form the earth and the world, || Even from age to age You [are] God.
3You turn man to a bruised thing, || And say, Return, you sons of men.
4For one thousand years in Your eyes [are] as yesterday, || For it passes on, indeed, [as] a watch by night.
5You have inundated them, they are asleep, || In the morning he changes as grass.
6In the morning it flourishes, and has changed, || At evening it is cut down, and has withered.
7For we were consumed in Your anger, || And we have been troubled in Your fury.
8You have set our iniquities before You, || Our hidden things at the light of Your face,
9For all our days pined away in Your wrath, || We consumed our years as a meditation.
10The days of our years, in them [are] seventy years, || And if, by reason of might, eighty years, || Yet their enlargement [is] labor and vanity, || For it has been cut off quickly, and we fly away.
11Who knows the power of Your anger? And according to Your fear—Your wrath?
12Let [us] know to number our days correctly, || And we bring the heart to wisdom.
13Turn back, O YHWH, until when? And regret concerning Your servants.
14Satisfy us at morning [with] Your kindness, || And we sing and rejoice all our days.
15Cause us to rejoice according to the days || Wherein You have afflicted us, || The years we have seen evil.
16Let Your work appear to Your servants, || And Your honor on their sons.
17And let the pleasantness of our God YHWH be on us, || And establish on us the work of our hands, || Indeed, establish the work of our hands!
