| # Chapter 90
#### 1 | Lord, you have been our dwelling place In all generations.
#### 2 | Before the mountains were brought forth, Or ever you had formed the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.
#### 3 | You turn man to destruction, saying, 'Return, you children of men.'
#### 4 | For a thousand years in your sight Are but as yesterday when it is past, As a watch in the night.
#### 5 | You sweep them away as they sleep. In the morning they sprout like new grass.
#### 6 | In the morning it sprouts and springs up. By evening, it is withered and dry.
#### 7 | For we are consumed in your anger. We are troubled in your wrath.
#### 8 | You have set our iniquities before you, Our secret sins in the light of your presence.
#### 9 | For all our days have passed away in your wrath. We bring our years to an end as a sigh.
#### 10 | The days of our years are seventy, Or even by reason of strength eighty years; Yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, For it passes quickly, and we fly away.
#### 11 | Who knows the power of your anger, Your wrath according to the fear that is due to you?
#### 12 | So teach us to number our days, That we may gain a heart of wisdom.
#### 13 | Relent, Yahweh! How long? Have compassion on your servants.
#### 14 | Satisfy us in the morning with your lovingkindness, That we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
#### 15 | Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, For as many years as we have seen evil.
#### 16 | Let your work appear to your servants; Your glory to their children.
#### 17 | Let the favor of the Lord our God be on us; Establish the work of our hands for us; Yes, establish the work of our hands. Psalm 91
