PSALMS 90:8-16

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 bring our years to an end as a tale that is told.

¹⁰The days of our years are threescore years and ten, or even by reason of strength fourscore years; yet is their pride but labour and sorrow; for it is soon gone, and we fly away.

¹¹Who knoweth the power of thine anger, and thy wrath according to the fear that is due unto thee?

¹²So teach us to number our days, that we may get us an heart of wisdom.

¹³Return, O LORD; how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.

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

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

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