Psalms 90:6-16

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

⁷For we are consumed by thy anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.

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

⁹For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years, as a tale that is told .

¹⁰The days of our years are seventy years; and if by reason of strength they are eighty years, yet is their strength labor and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

¹¹Who knoweth the power of thy anger? even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath.

¹²So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts to wisdom.

¹³Return, O LORD, how long? and repent thou concerning thy servants.

¹⁴O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

¹⁵Make us glad according to the days in which thou hast afflicted us, and the years in which we have seen evil.

¹⁶Let thy work appear to thy servants, and thy glory to their children.
