Psalm 90
Young's Literal Translation

Lord, You Have Been Our Dwelling Place

1A Prayer of Moses, the man of God. Lord, a habitation Thou -- Thou hast been, To us -- in generation and generation,

2Before mountains were brought forth, And Thou dost form the earth and the world, Even from age unto age Thou art God.

3Thou turnest man unto a bruised thing, And sayest, Turn back, ye sons of men.

4For a thousand years in Thine eyes are as yesterday, For it passeth on, yea, a watch by night.

5Thou hast inundated them, they are asleep, In the morning as grass he changeth.

6In the morning it flourisheth, and hath changed, At evening it is cut down, and hath withered.

7For we were consumed in Thine anger, And in Thy fury we have been troubled.

8Thou hast set our iniquities before Thee, Our hidden things at the light of Thy face,

9For all our days pined away in Thy wrath, We consumed our years as a meditation.

10Days of our years, in them are seventy years, And if, by reason of might, eighty years, Yet is their enlargement labour and vanity, For it hath been cut off hastily, and we fly away.

11Who knoweth the power of Thine anger? And according to Thy fear -- Thy wrath?

12To number our days aright let us know, And we bring the heart to wisdom.

13Turn back, O Jehovah, till when? And repent concerning Thy servants.

14Satisfy us at morn with Thy kindness, And we sing and rejoice all our days.

15Cause us to rejoice according to the days Wherein Thou hast afflicted us, The years we have seen evil.

16Let Thy work appear unto Thy servants, And Thine honour on their sons.

17And let the pleasantness of Jehovah our God be upon us, And the work of our hands establish on us, Yea, the work of our hands establish it!
