# Psalm 90 ## From Everlasting to Everlasting *A prayer of Moses the man of God.* - 1 Lord, You have been our dwelling place - [[H1755|through all]] [[H1755|generations]]. - 2 [[H2962|Before]] the mountains [[H3205|were born]] - or You brought forth the earth and the world, - [[H5769|from everlasting]] to [[H5769|everlasting]] - You are God. - 3 You return man to dust, - saying, “Return, O sons of mortals.” - 4 For in Your sight [[H0505|a thousand]] [[H8141|years]] - are but [[H0865|a day]] that passes, {[[#^ps-090-a| a ]]} - [[H0821|or a watch]] [[H3915|of the night]]. - 5 You whisk them away in their sleep; - they are like the new grass [[H1242|of the morning]]— - 6 [[H1242|in the morning]] it springs up new, - [[H6143|but by evening]] it fades and withers. - 7 For we are consumed by Your anger - and terrified by Your wrath. - 8 You have set our iniquities before You, - our secret sins in the light of Your presence. - 9 For all [[H3117|our days]] decline in Your fury; - we finish [[H8141|our years]] with a sigh. - 10 [[H3117|The length of our days]] is seventy [[H8141|years]]— - or eighty if we are strong— - yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, - for they quickly pass, and we fly away. - 11 Who knows the power of Your anger? - Your wrath matches the fear You are due. - 12 [[H3651|So]] [[H3045|teach us]] [[H4487|to number]] [[H3117|our days]], - that we may present [[H3824|a heart]] [[H2451|of wisdom]]. - 13 Return, O LORD! [[H5704|How long will it be]]? - Have compassion on Your servants. - 14 Satisfy us [[H1242|in the morning]] with Your loving devotion, - that we may sing for joy and be glad [[H3605|all]] [[H3117|our days]]. - 15 Make us glad for [[H3117|as many days]] as You have afflicted us, - [[H8141|for as many years]] as we have seen evil. - 16 May Your work be shown to Your servants, - and Your splendor to their children. - 17 May the favor {[[#^ps-090-b| b ]]} of the Lord our God rest upon us; - establish for us the work of our hands— - yes, establish the work of our hands! --- ### Footnotes: - 4 a See [[2_Peter_03|2 Peter 3.8]] ^ps-090-a - 17 b Or *beauty* ^ps-090-b --- - Previous chapter: [[Psalm_089]] - Next chapter: [[Psalm_091]] - TOC: [[TOC_Psalms]] --- ###### The Holy Bible, Berean Standard Bible (https://bereanbible.com), BSB is produced in cooperation with Bible Hub (https://biblehub.com), Discovery Bible (https://discoverybible.com), OpenBible.com (https://openbible.com), and the Berean Bible Translation Committee.
