90. "Teach Us to Number Our Days"
Psa 90:1
<A Prayer of Moses the man of God.> Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.Psa 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.Psa 90:3
Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men.Psa 90:4
For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.Psa 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.Psa 90:6
In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.Psa 90:7
For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.Psa 90:8
Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.Psa 90:9
For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told.Psa 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.Psa 90:11
Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath.Psa 90:12
So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.Psa 90:13
Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.Psa 90:14
O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.Psa 90:15
Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil.Psa 90:16
Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children.Psa 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.
