090:001
Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.

090:002
Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.

090:003
Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men.

090:004
For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.

090:005
Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.

090:006
In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.

090:007
For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.

090:008
Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.

090:009
For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told.

090:010
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.

090:011
Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath.

090:012
So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

090:013
Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.

090:014
O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

090:015
Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil.

090:016
Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children.

090:017
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.
