Psalms 90

KING JAMES BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 LORD, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.	1 The Praise of a Canticle, of David. Whoever dwells with the assistance of the Most High will abide in the protection of the God of heaven.
2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.	2 He will say to the Lord, “You are my supporter and my refuge.” My God, I will hope in him.
3 Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men.	3 For he has freed me from the snare of those who go hunting, and from the harsh word.
4 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.	4 He will overshadow you with his shoulders, and you will hope under his wings.
5 Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.	5 His truth will surround you with a shield. You will not be afraid: before the terror of the night,
6 In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.	6 before the arrow flying in the day, before the troubles that wander in the darkness, nor of invasion and the midday demon.
7 For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.	7 A thousand will fall before your side and ten thousand before your right hand. Yet it will not draw near you.
8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.	8 So then, truly, you will consider with your eyes, and you will see the retribution of sinners.
9 For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told.	9 For you, O Lord, are my hope. You have set the Most High as your refuge.
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.	10 Disaster will not draw near to you, and the scourge will not approach your tabernacle.
11 Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath.	11 For he has given his Angels charge over you, so as to preserve you in all your ways.
12 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.	12 With their hands, they will carry you, lest you hurt your foot against a stone.
13 Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.	13 You will walk over the asp and the king serpent, and you will trample the lion and the dragon.
14 O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.	14 Because he has hoped in me, I will free him. I will protect him because he has known my name.
15 Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil.	15 He will cry out to me, and I will heed him. I am with him in tribulation. I will rescue him, and I will glorify him.
16 Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children.	16 I will fill him with length of days. And I will reveal to him my salvation.
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.
