Psalm 90

1  Lord, you have been our refuge ♦︎
   from one generation to another.
2  Before the mountains were brought forth,
      or the earth and the world were formed, ♦︎
   from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
3  You turn us back to dust and say: ♦︎
   ‘Turn back, O children of earth.’
4  For a thousand years in your sight are but as yesterday, ♦︎
   which passes like a watch in the night.
5  You sweep them away like a dream; ♦︎
   they 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 at your wrathful indignation.
8  You have set our misdeeds before you ♦︎
   and our secret sins in the light of your countenance.
12  So teach us to number our days ♦︎
   that we may apply our hearts to wisdom.
