KJV Psalms Chapter 90

A Prayer of Moses the man of God. 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.
