Psalm 90
NKJV Parallel ISV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
New King James VersionInternational Standard Version
1A Prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, You have been our dwelling place in all generations.1Lord, you've been our refuge from generation to generation.
2Before the mountains were brought forth, Or ever You had formed the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.2Before the mountains were formed or the earth and the world were brought forth, you are God from eternity to eternity.
3You turn man to destruction, And say, “Return, O children of men.”3You return people to dust merely by saying, "Return, you mortals!"
4For a thousand years in Your sight Are like yesterday when it is past, And like a watch in the night.4One thousand years in your sight are but a single day that passes by, just like a night watch.
5You carry them away like a flood; They are like a sleep. In the morning they are like grass which grows up:5You will sweep them away while they are asleep— by morning they are like growing grass.
6In the morning it flourishes and grows up; In the evening it is cut down and withers.6In the morning it blossoms and is renewed, but toward evening, it fades and withers.
7For we have been consumed by Your anger, And by Your wrath we are terrified.7Indeed, we are consumed by your anger and terrified by your wrath.
8You have set our iniquities before You, Our secret sins in the light of Your countenance.8You have set our iniquities before you, what we have concealed in the light of your presence.
9For all our days have passed away in Your wrath; We finish our years like a sigh.9All our days pass away in your wrath; our years fade away and end like a sigh.
10The days of our lives are seventy years; And if by reason of strength they are eighty years, Yet their boast is only labor and sorrow; For it is soon cut off, and we fly away.10We live for 70 years, or 80 years if we're healthy, yet even in the prime years there are troubles and sorrow. They pass by quickly and we fly away.
11Who knows the power of Your anger? For as the fear of You, so is Your wrath.11Who can know the intensity of your anger? Because our fear of you matches your wrath,
12So teach us to number our days, That we may gain a heart of wisdom.12teach us to keep account of our days so we may develop inner wisdom.
13Return, O LORD! How long? And have compassion on Your servants.13Please return, LORD! When will it be? Comfort your servants.
14Oh, satisfy us early with Your mercy, That we may rejoice and be glad all our days!14Satisfy us in the morning with your gracious love so we may sing for joy and rejoice every day.
15Make us glad according to the days in which You have afflicted us, The years in which we have seen evil.15Cause us to rejoice throughout the time when you have afflicted us, the years when we have known trouble.
16Let Your work appear to Your servants, And Your glory to their children.16May your awesome deeds be revealed to your servants, as well as your splendor to their children.
17And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us, And establish the work of our hands for us; Yes, establish the work of our hands.17May your favor be on us, Lord our God; make our endeavors successful; yes, make our endeavors secure!
