Psalm 90:1-12

Jubilee Bible 2000

A Prayer of Moses the man of God.

¹ ¶ Lord, thou hast been our refuge from generation to generation.

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 dost turn unto man until he is broken and thou saith, Become converted, ye sons of Adam.

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 dost cause them to pass by as the waters of a river; they are as a dream, which is strong in the morning like grass.

⁶ In the morning it blossoms and grows up; in the evening it is cut down and withers.

⁷ ¶ For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath we are troubled.

⁸ Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.

⁹ For all our days decline because of thy wrath; we end our years according to the word.

¹⁰ The days of our years are seventy, and of the most valiant eighty years, yet their strength is labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

¹¹ Who knows the power of thine anger? that thy wrath is not less than our fear.

¹² ¶ Cause us to learn this that we might number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
