Psalms 90:9-17
-
9 For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told.
-
10 The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
-
11 Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath.
-
12 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
-
13 Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.
-
14 O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
-
15 Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil.
-
16 Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children.
-
17 And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.
