Psalm 90
Jubilee Bible 2000
A Prayer of Moses the man of God.
1 ¶ Lord, thou hast been our refuge from generation to generation.
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.
3 Thou dost turn unto man until he is broken and thou saith, Become converted, ye sons of Adam.
4 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past and as a watch in the night.
5 Thou dost cause them to pass by as the waters of a river; they are as a dream, which is strong in the morning like grass.
6 In the morning it blossoms and grows up; in the evening it is cut down and withers.
7 ¶ For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath we are troubled.
8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.
9 For all our days decline because of thy wrath; we end our years according to the word.
10 The days of our years are seventy, and of the most valiant eighty years, yet their strength is labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
11 Who knows the power of thine anger? that thy wrath is not less than our fear.
12 ¶ Cause us to learn this that we might number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
13 Return unto us, O LORD, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy slaves.
14 O satisfy us early with thy mercy, and we shall sing and be glad all our days.
15 Make us glad according to the days in which thou hast afflicted us and the years in which we have seen evil.
16 Let thy work appear in thy slaves and thy glory upon their sons.
17 And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us, and set thou aright the work of our hands upon us; yea, set thou aright the work of our hands.

BOOK IV
Psalms 90–106
Psalm 90
A prayer of Moses the man of God.
1 Lord, you have been our dwelling place(A)
throughout all generations.
2 Before the mountains were born(B)
or you brought forth the whole world,
from everlasting to everlasting(C) you are God.(D)
3 You turn people back to dust,
saying, “Return to dust, you mortals.”(E)
4 A thousand years in your sight
are like a day that has just gone by,
or like a watch in the night.(F)
5 Yet you sweep people away(G) in the sleep of death—
they are like the new grass of the morning:
6 In the morning it springs up new,
but by evening it is dry and withered.(H)
7 We are consumed by your anger
and terrified by your indignation.
8 You have set our iniquities before you,
our secret sins(I) in the light of your presence.(J)
9 All our days pass away under your wrath;
we finish our years with a moan.(K)
10 Our days may come to seventy years,(L)
or eighty,(M) if our strength endures;
yet the best of them are but trouble and sorrow,(N)
for they quickly pass, and we fly away.(O)
11 If only we knew the power of your anger!
Your wrath(P) is as great as the fear that is your due.(Q)
12 Teach us to number our days,(R)
that we may gain a heart of wisdom.(S)
13 Relent, Lord! How long(T) will it be?
Have compassion on your servants.(U)
14 Satisfy(V) us in the morning with your unfailing love,(W)
that we may sing for joy(X) and be glad all our days.(Y)
15 Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us,
for as many years as we have seen trouble.
16 May your deeds be shown to your servants,
your splendor to their children.(Z)
