90:1 | |
90:2 |
Before the mountains were made, before you had given birth to the earth and the world, before time was, and for ever, you are God.
|
90:3 |
You send man back to his dust; and say, Go back, you children of men.
|
90:4 |
For to you a thousand years are no more than yesterday when it is past, and like a watch in the night.
|
90:5 |
...
|
90:6 |
In the morning it is green; in the evening it is cut down, and becomes dry.
|
90:7 |
We are burned up by the heat of your passion, and troubled by your wrath.
|
90:8 |
You have put our evil doings before you, our secret sins in the light of your face.
|
90:9 |
For all our days have gone by in your wrath; our years come to an end like a breath.
|
90:10 |
The measure of our life is seventy years; and if through strength it may be eighty years, its pride is only trouble and sorrow, for it comes to an end and we are quickly gone.
|
90:11 |
Who has knowledge of the power of your wrath, or who takes note of the weight of your passion?
|
90:12 |
So give us knowledge of the number of our days, that we may get a heart of wisdom.
|
90:13 |
Come back, O Lord; how long? let your purpose for your servants be changed.
|
90:14 |
In the morning give us your mercy in full measure; so that we may have joy and delight all our days.
|
90:15 |
Make us glad in reward for the days of our sorrow, and for the years in which we have seen evil.
|
90:16 |
Make your work clear to your servants, and your glory to their children.
|
90:17 |
Let the pleasure of the Lord our God be on us: O Lord, give strength to the work of our hands.
