• Psalms 90:10 26 votes

  The days of our years are seventy, Or even by reason of strength eighty years; Yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, For it passes quickly, and we fly away.

• Psalms 90:1-17 10 votes

  [1] > Lord, you have been our dwelling place for all generations. [2] Before the mountains were brought forth, Or ever you had formed the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God. [3] You turn man to destruction, saying, "Return, you children of men." [4] For a thousand years in your sight Are but as yesterday when it is past, As a watch in the night. [5] You sweep them away as they sleep. In the morning they sprout like new grass. [6] In the morning it sprouts and springs up. By evening, it is withered and dry. [7] For we are consumed in your anger. We are troubled in your wrath. [8] You have set our iniquities before you, Our secret sins in the light of your presence. [9] For all our days have passed away in your wrath. We bring our years to an end as a sigh. [10] The days of our years are seventy, Or even by reason of strength eighty years; Yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, For it passes quickly, and we fly away. [11] Who knows the power of your anger, Your wrath according to the fear that is due to you? [12] So teach us to number our days, That we may gain a heart of wisdom. [13] Relent, Yahweh! How long? Have compassion on your servants! [14] Satisfy us in the morning with your loving kindness, That we may rejoice and be glad all our days. [15] Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, For as many years as we have seen evil. [16] Let your work appear to your servants; Your glory to their children. [17] Let the favor of the Lord our God be on us; Establish the work of our hands for us; Yes, establish the work of our hands.
