Chapter Text
90:1 A prayer of Moses, the man of God. Lord, thou hast bene our habitation from generation to generation.
90:2 Before the mountaines were made, and before thou hadst formed the earth, and the world, euen from euerlasting to euerlasting thou art our God.
90:3 Thou turnest man to destruction: againe thou sayest, Returne, ye sonnes of Adam.
90:4 For a thousande yeeres in thy sight are as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
90:5 Thou hast ouerflowed them: they are as a sleepe: in the morning he groweth like the grasse:
90:6 In the morning it florisheth and groweth, but in the euening it is cut downe and withereth.
90:7 For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.
90:8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, and our secret sinnes in the light of thy countenance.
90:9 For all our dayes are past in thine anger: we haue spent our yeeres as a thought.
90:10 The time of our life is threescore yeeres and ten, and if they be of strength, fourescore yeeres: yet their strength is but labour and sorowe: for it is cut off quickly, and we flee away.
90:11 Who knoweth the power of thy wrath? for according to thy feare is thine anger.
90:12 Teach vs so to nomber our dayes, that we may apply our heartes vnto wisdome.
90:13 Returne (O Lord, howe long?) and be pacified toward thy seruants.
90:14 Fill vs with thy mercie in the morning: so shall we reioyce and be glad all our dayes.
90:15 Comfort vs according to the dayes that thou hast afflicted vs, and according to the yeeres that we haue seene euill.
90:16 Let thy worke bee seene towarde thy seruants, and thy glory vpon their children.
90:17 And let the beautie of the Lord our God be vpon vs, and direct thou the worke of our hands vpon vs, euen direct the worke of our handes.
