King James Version of the Bible

Book of Psalms

Chapter 90



90:1  Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.
90:2  Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.
90:3  Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men.
90:4  For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
90:5  Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.
90:6  In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.
90:7  For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.
90:8  Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.
90:9  For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told.
90:10  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.
90:11  Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath.
90:12  So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
90:13  Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.
90:14  O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
90:15  Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil.
90:16  Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children.
90:17  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.
