Psalm 90
NASB Parallel NLT [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
New American Standard Bible 1995New Living Translation
1A Prayer of Moses, the man of God. Lord, You have been our dwelling place in all generations.1Lord, through all the generations you have been our home!
2Before the mountains were born Or You gave birth to the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.2Before the mountains were born, before you gave birth to the earth and the world, from beginning to end, you are God.
3You turn man back into dust And say, "Return, O children of men."3You turn people back to dust, saying, “Return to dust, you mortals!”
4For a thousand years in Your sight Are like yesterday when it passes by, Or as a watch in the night.4For you, a thousand years are as a passing day, as brief as a few night hours.
5You have swept them away like a flood, they fall asleep; In the morning they are like grass which sprouts anew.5You sweep people away like dreams that disappear. They are like grass that springs up in the morning.
6In the morning it flourishes and sprouts anew; Toward evening it fades and withers away.6In the morning it blooms and flourishes, but by evening it is dry and withered.
7For we have been consumed by Your anger And by Your wrath we have been dismayed.7We wither beneath your anger; we are overwhelmed by your fury.
8You have placed our iniquities before You, Our secret sins in the light of Your presence.8You spread out our sins before you— our secret sins—and you see them all.
9For all our days have declined in Your fury; We have finished our years like a sigh.9We live our lives beneath your wrath, ending our years with a groan.
10As for the days of our life, they contain seventy years, Or if due to strength, eighty years, Yet their pride is but labor and sorrow; For soon it is gone and we fly away.10Seventy years are given to us! Some even live to eighty. But even the best years are filled with pain and trouble; soon they disappear, and we fly away.
11Who understands the power of Your anger And Your fury, according to the fear that is due You?11Who can comprehend the power of your anger? Your wrath is as awesome as the fear you deserve.
12So teach us to number our days, That we may present to You a heart of wisdom.12Teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom.
13Do return, O LORD; how long will it be? And be sorry for Your servants.13O LORD, come back to us! How long will you delay? Take pity on your servants!
14O satisfy us in the morning with Your lovingkindness, That we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.14Satisfy us each morning with your unfailing love, so we may sing for joy to the end of our lives.
15Make us glad according to the days You have afflicted us, And the years we have seen evil.15Give us gladness in proportion to our former misery! Replace the evil years with good.
16Let Your work appear to Your servants And Your majesty to their children.16Let us, your servants, see you work again; let our children see your glory.
17Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us; And confirm for us the work of our hands; Yes, confirm the work of our hands.17And may the Lord our God show us his approval and make our efforts successful. Yes, make our efforts successful!
