Psalms 90:4-9 in English

⁴ For a thousand years in thy sight Are but as yesterday when it is past, And as a watch in the night.

⁵ Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: In the morning they are like grass which groweth up.

⁶ In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; In the evening it is cut down, and withereth.

⁷ For we are consumed in thine anger, And in thy wrath are we troubled.

⁸ Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, Our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.

⁹ For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: We bring our years to an end as a sigh.

⁴ He shall overshadow thee with his shoulders, and thou shalt trust under his wings: his truth shall cover thee with a shield.

⁵ Thou shalt not be afraid of terror by night; nor of the arrow flying by day;

⁶ nor of the evil thing that walks in darkness; nor of calamity, and the evil spirit at noon-day.
