Psalms 90: (KJV)
|
1) Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.
|
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.
|
3) Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men.
|
4) For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
|
5) Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.
|
6) In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.
|
7) For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.
|
8) Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.
|
9) For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told.
|
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.
|
11) Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath.
|
12) So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
|
13) Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.
|
14) O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
|
15) Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil.
|
16) Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children.
|
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.
