Psalm 90

¹Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.
²Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.
³Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men.
⁴For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
⁵Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.
⁶In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.
⁷For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.
⁸Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.
⁹For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told.
¹⁰The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
¹¹Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath.
¹²So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
¹³Return, O Lord, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.
¹⁴O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
¹⁵Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil.
¹⁶Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children.
¹⁷And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.

⁹Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment.
¹⁰Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity.

12Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;
²While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain:
³In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows be darkened,
⁴And the doors shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of the grinding is low, and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of musick shall be brought low;
⁵Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and fears shall be in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail: because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets:
⁶Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern.
⁷Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
⁸Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity.
¹³Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
¹⁴For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

13Let brotherly love continue.
²Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
³Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.
⁴Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.
⁵Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
⁶So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
⁷Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation.
⁸Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
⁹Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.
¹⁰We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle.
¹¹For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp.
¹²Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.
¹³Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.
¹⁴For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.
¹⁵By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.
¹⁶But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
¹⁷Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.
¹⁸Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly.
¹⁹But I beseech you the rather to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.
²⁰Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,
²¹Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
