90:1  A prayer of Moses, the man of God. Lord, through all the generations you have been our home!
90:2  Before the mountains were created, before the earth was formed, you are God without beginning or end.
90:3  You speak, and man turns back to dust.
90:4  A thousand years are but as yesterday to you! They are like a single hour!
90:5  We glide along the tides of time as swiftly as a racing river and vanish as quickly as a dream. We are like grass that is green in the morning but mowed down and withered before the evening shadows fall.
90:6  We glide along the tides of time as swiftly as a racing river and vanish as quickly as a dream. We are like grass that is green in the morning but mowed down and withered before the evening shadows fall.
90:7  We die beneath your anger; we are overwhelmed by your wrath.
90:8  You spread out our sins before you—our secret sins—and see them all.
90:9  No wonder the years are long and heavy here beneath your wrath. All our days are filled with sighing.
90:10  Seventy years are given us! And some may even live to eighty. But even the best of these years are often empty and filled with pain; soon they disappear, and we are gone.
90:11  Who can realize the terrors of your anger? Which of us can fear you as he should?
90:12  Teach us to number our days and recognize how few they are; help us to spend them as we should.
90:13  O Jehovah, come and bless us! How long will you delay? Turn away your anger from us.
90:14  Satisfy us in our earliest youth with your loving-kindness, giving us constant joy to the end of our lives.
90:15  Give us gladness in proportion to our former misery! Replace the evil years with good.
90:16  Let us see your miracles again; let our children see glorious things, the kind you used to do,
90:17  and let the Lord our God favor us and give us success. May he give permanence to all we do.
