Chapter 90.
|
||
|
|
A Prayer by Moses, the man of God. Lord, you have been our dwelling place for all generations.
|
||
|
|
Before the mountains were born, before you had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.
|
||
|
|
You turn man to destruction, saying, “Return, you children of men.”
|
||
|
|
For a thousand years in your sight are just like yesterday when it is past, like a watch in the night.
|
||
|
|
You sweep them away as they sleep. In the morning they sprout like new grass.
|
||
|
|
In the morning it sprouts and springs up. By evening, it is withered and dry.
|
||
|
|
For we are consumed in your anger. We are troubled in your wrath.
|
||
|
|
You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence.
|
||
|
|
For all our days have passed away in your wrath. We bring our years to an end as a sigh.
|
||
|
|
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.
|
||
|
|
Who knows the power of your anger, your wrath according to the fear that is due to you?
|
||
|
|
So teach us to count our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
|
||
|
|
Relent, Yahweh! How long? Have compassion on your servants!
|
||
|
|
Satisfy us in the morning with your loving kindness, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
|
||
|
|
Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen evil.
|
||
|
|
Let your work appear to your servants, your glory to their children.
|
||
|
|
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.
