Psalms 89:1-9

¹(90) A Prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, you have been our refuge in all generations.

²Before the mountains existed, and before the earth and the world were formed, even from age to age, You are.

³Turn not man back to his low place, whereas you said, Return, you° sons of men?

⁴For a thousand years in your sight are as the yesterday which is past, and as a watch in the night.

⁵Years shall be vanity to them: let the morning pass away as grass.

⁶In the morning let it flower, and pass away: in the evening let it droop, let it be withered and dried up.

⁷For we have perished in your anger, and in your wrath we have been troubled.

⁸You have set our transgressions before you: our age is in the light of your countenance.

⁹For all our days are gone, and we have passed away in your wrath: our years have spun out their tale as a spider.
