PSALM 90

The LORD is Unto the Eons

A prayer by Moses the man of God.

1 O lord, [²a refuge ¹you became] for us unto generation and generation. 2 Before the mountains existed, and [⁵took shape ¹the ²earth ³and ⁴inhabitable world]; even from eon and until the eon you are. 3 You should not return man unto humiliation, whereas you said, Return, O sons of men! 4 For a thousand years in your eyes, O lord, are as day -- yesterday which went, and is as a watch in the night. 5 [³their contempt ¹Years ²shall be]; [²the morning ³as ⁴tender shoots ¹may it go by]; 6 [²in the morning ¹blooming], and may it go by; in the evening it shall fall away, may it be hardened and dried up. 7 For we faltered in your anger, and in your rage we were disturbed. 8 You put our lawlessness before you; our eon in the illumination of your face. 9 For all our days failed; even in your anger we failed. Our years are as of a spider meditating. 10 The days of our years among them are seventy years; but if by commands -- eighty years, but much of them toil and misery; for [²comes ¹mellowing] upon us, and we shall be corrected. 11 Who knows the power of your anger? and [²because of ³the ⁴fear ⁵of your rage ¹how to count out his days]? 12 [⁴your right hand ¹So ²make known ³to me]! and the ones being corrected in the heart by wisdom. 13 Return, O lord! For how long? and give comfort unto your servants! 14 We were filled up in the morning with your mercy, O lord, and we exulted and were glad in all our days. 15 We were gladdened because of the days you humbled us; years which we beheld bad things. 16 And look upon your servants, and upon your works, and guide their sons! 17 And let [⁵be ¹the ²brightness ³of the lord ⁴our God] upon us! And [⁴the ⁵works ⁶of our hands ¹prosper ²for ³us] -- yes, [²the ³work ⁴of our hands ¹prosper]!
