1Lord, you have been our dwelling place for all generations .[#90:1 The word translated “Lord” is “Adonai.”]
2Before the mountains were born ,
before you had formed the earth and the world ,
even from everlasting to everlasting , you are God.
3You turn man to destruction , saying,
“Return , you children of men .”
4For a thousand years in your sight are just like yesterday when it is past ,
like a watch in the night .
5You sweep them away as they sleep .
In the morning they sprout like new grass .
6In the morning it sprouts and springs up .
By evening , it is withered and dry .
7For we are consumed in your anger .
We are troubled in your wrath .
8You have set our iniquities before you ,
our secret sins in the light of your presence .
9For all our days have passed away in your wrath .
We bring our years to an end as a sigh .
10The days of our years are seventy ,
or even by reason of strength eighty years ;
yet their pride is but labour and sorrow ,
for it passes quickly , and we fly away .
11Who knows the power of your anger ,
your wrath according to the fear that is due to you ?
12So teach us to count our days ,
that we may gain a heart of wisdom .
13Relent , LORD ![#90:13 When rendered in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS, “” or “GOD” is the translation of God’s Proper Name (Hebrew “”, usually pronounced Yahweh).]
How long ?
Have compassion on your servants !
14Satisfy us in the morning with your loving kindness ,
that we may rejoice and be glad all our days .
15Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us ,
for as many years as we have seen evil .
16Let your work appear to your servants ,
your glory to their children .
17Let the favour of the Lord our God be on us .
Establish the work of our hands for us .
Yes, establish the work of our hands .
