90:1  A Prayer by Moses, the man of God. Lord, you have been our dwelling place for all generations.

90:2  Before the mountains were brought forth, Or ever you had formed the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.

90:3  You turn man to destruction, saying, "Return, you children of men."

90:4  For a thousand years in your sight Are but as yesterday when it is past, As a watch in the night.

90:5  You sweep them away as they sleep. In the morning they sprout like new grass.

90:6  In the morning it sprouts and springs up. By evening, it is withered and dry.

90:7  For we are consumed in your anger. We are troubled in your wrath.

90:8  You have set our iniquities before you, Our secret sins in the light of your presence.

90:9  For all our days have passed away in your wrath. We bring our years to an end as a sigh.

90:10  The days of our years are seventy, Or even by reason of strength eighty years; Yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, For it passes quickly, and we fly away.

90:11  Who knows the power of your anger, Your wrath according to the fear that is due to you?

90:12  So teach us to number our days, That we may gain a heart of wisdom.

90:13  Relent, Yahweh! How long? Have compassion on your servants!

90:14  Satisfy us in the morning with your loving kindness, That we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

90:15  Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, For as many years as we have seen evil.

90:16  Let your work appear to your servants; Your glory to their children.

90:17  Let the favor of the Lord our God be on us; Establish the work of our hands for us; Yes, establish the work of our hands.
