90:1  A prayer of Moshe the man of God: Adonai, you have been our dwelling place in every generation.
90:2  Before the mountains were born, before you had formed the earth and the world, from eternity past to eternity future you are God.
90:3  You bring frail mortals to the point of being crushed, then say, “People, repent!”
90:4  For from your viewpoint a thousand years are merely like yesterday or a night watch.
90:5  When you sweep them away, they become like sleep; by morning they are like growing grass,
90:6  growing and flowering in the morning, but by evening cut down and dried up.
90:7  For we are destroyed by your anger, overwhelmed by your wrath.
90:8  You have placed our faults before you, our secret sins in the full light of your presence.
90:9  All our days ebb away under your wrath; our years die away like a sigh.
90:10  The span of our life is seventy years, or if we are strong, eighty; yet at best it is toil and sorrow, over in a moment, and then we are gone.
90:11  Who grasps the power of your anger and wrath to the degree that the fear due you should inspire?
90:12  So teach us to count our days, so that we will become wise.
90:13  Return, Adonai! How long must it go on? Take pity on your servants!
90:14  Fill us at daybreak with your love, so that we can sing for joy as long as we live.
90:15  Let our joy last as long as the time you made us suffer, for as many years as we experienced trouble.
90:16  Show your deeds to your servants and your glory to their children.
90:17  May the favor of Adonai our God be on us, prosper for us all the work that we do — yes, prosper the work that we do.
