Psalm 90 Domine, refugium

Psalm 90 Domine, refugium

1	Lord, you have been our refuge * from one generation to another.
2	Before the mountains were brought forth, or the land and the earth were born, * from age to age you are God.
3	You turn us back to the dust and say, * "Go back, O child of earth."
4	For a thousand years in your sight are like yesterday when it is past * and like a watch in the night.
5	You sweep us away like a dream; * we fade away suddenly like the grass.
6	In the morning it is green and flourishes; * in the evening it is dried up and withered.
7	For we consume away in your displeasure; * we are afraid because of your wrathful indignation.
8	Our iniquities you have set before you, * and our secret sins in the light of your countenance.
9	When you are angry, all our days are gone; * we bring our years to an end like a sigh.
10	The span of our life is seventy years, perhaps in strength even eighty; * yet the sum of them is but labor and sorrow, for they pass away quickly and we are gone.
11	Who regards the power of your wrath? * who rightly fears your indignation?
12	So teach us to number our days * that we may apply our hearts to wisdom.
13	Return, O LORD; how long will you tarry? * be gracious to your servants.
14	Satisfy us by your loving-kindness in the morning; * so shall we rejoice and be glad all the days of our life.
15	Make us glad by the measure of the days that you afflicted us * and the years in which we suffered adversity.
16	Show your servants your works * and your splendor to their children.
17	May the graciousness of the LORD our God be upon us; * prosper the work of our hands; prosper our handiwork.
