Moff by section PSA 90:1

Psalm 90

A prayer of Moses the man of God.

90 Age after age, Lord, thou has been our home;

from all eternity thou hast been God,

2 ere ever hills were born,

ere ever earth and world were made.

3 Thou crumblest man away,

summoning men back to the dust,

4 thou to whom a thousand years

are like the flight of yesterday,

like an hour passing in the night.

5 Year after year thou sowest men

like grass that grows anew,

6 that in the dawn is fresh and flourishing,

and by the twilight fades and withers.

7 For under thine anger we perish,

we sink in terror at thy wrath;

8 thou dost expose our sins

and layest our guilty secrets bare;

9 our days droop under thy displeasure,

our life is over like a sigh.

10 Our life is seventy years at most,

or eighty at the best;

it is a span of toil and trouble,

soon over, and we flit away.

11 Yet who weighs the full weight of thy displeasure?

Which of us dreads thine anger?

12 Oh teach us so to count our days,

that we may take it to heart.

13 Relent, O thou Eternal, and delay not,

be sorry for thy servants.

14 Let thy love dawn on us undimmed,

that all our life we may be glad and sing;

15 grant joy as long as thou hast been afflicting us,

for all the years that we have suffered;

16 let thy servants see thee at thy saving work,

and let their children see thy glorious power.

17 Lord, may thy loving favour rest on us,

and prosper all the work we undertake.
