090:001

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

090:002

Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men

090:003

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

090:004

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

090:005

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

090:006

For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled

090:007

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

090:008

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

090:009

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

090:010

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

090:011

So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom

090:012

Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants

090:013

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

090:014

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

090:015

Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children

090:016

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
