Psalm 90
NKJV Parallel NIV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
New King James VersionNew International Version
1A Prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, You have been our dwelling place in all generations.1A prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, you have been our dwelling place throughout all generations.
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 born or you brought forth the whole world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
3You turn man to destruction, And say, “Return, O children of men.”3You turn people back to dust, saying, "Return to dust, you mortals."
4For a thousand years in Your sight Are like yesterday when it is past, And like a watch in the night.4A thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night.
5You carry them away like a flood; They are like a sleep. In the morning they are like grass which grows up:5Yet you sweep people away in the sleep of death-- they are like the new grass of the morning:
6In the morning it flourishes and grows up; In the evening it is cut down and withers.6In the morning it springs up new, but by evening it is dry and withered.
7For we have been consumed by Your anger, And by Your wrath we are terrified.7We are consumed by your anger and terrified by your indignation.
8You have set our iniquities before You, Our secret sins in the light of Your countenance.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 finish our years like a sigh.9All our days pass away under your wrath; we finish our years with a moan.
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.10Our days may come to seventy years, or eighty, if our strength endures; yet the best of them are but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away.
11Who knows the power of Your anger? For as the fear of You, so is Your wrath.11If only we knew the power of your anger! Your wrath is as great as the fear that is your due.
12So teach us to number our days, That we may gain a heart of wisdom.12Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
13Return, O LORD! How long? And have compassion on Your servants.13Relent, LORD! How long will it be? Have compassion on 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 unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.
15Make us glad according to the days in which You have afflicted us, The years in which we have seen evil.15Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen trouble.
16Let Your work appear to Your servants, And Your glory to their children.16May your deeds be shown to your servants, 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 the favor of the Lord our God rest on us; establish the work of our hands for us-- yes, establish the work of our hands.
