BOOK 4

Psalm 90

God’s Eternity and the Brevity of Human Life.

A Prayer of Moses, the man of God.

1Lord, You have been our dwelling place in all generations.

2Before the mountains were born

Or You gave birth to the earth and the world,

Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.

3You turn mortals back into dust

And say, “Return, you sons of mankind.”

4For a thousand years in Your sight

Are like yesterday when it passes by,

Or like a watch in the night.

5You have swept them away like a flood, they fall asleep;

In the morning they are like grass that sprouts anew.

6In the morning it flourishes and sprouts anew;

Toward evening it wilts and withers away.
