Psalms 90

NEW JERUSALEM	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 [Prayer Of Moses, man of God] Lord, you have been our refuge from age to age.	1 A prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, thou hast been our refuge from generation to generation.
2 Before the mountains were born, before the earth and the world came to birth, from eternity to eternityyou are God.	2 Before the mountains were made, or the earth and the world was formed; from eternity and to eternity thou art God.
3 You bring human beings to the dust, by saying, 'Return, children of Adam.'	3 Turn not man away to be brought low: and thou hast said: Be converted, O ye sons of men.
4 A thousand years are to you like a yesterday which has passed, like a watch of the night.	4 For a thousand years in thy sight are as yesterday, which is past. And as a watch in the night,
5 You flood them with sleep -- in the morning they wil be like growing grass:	5 things that are counted nothing, shall their years be.
6 in the morning it is blossoming and growing, by evening it is withered and dry.	6 In the morning man shall grow up like grass; in the morning he shall flourish and pass away: in the evening he shall fall, grow dry, and wither.
7 For we have been destroyed by your wrath, dismayed by your anger.	7 For in thy wrath we have fainted away: and are troubled in thy indignation.
8 You have taken note of our guilty deeds, our secrets in the ful light of your presence.	8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thy eyes: our life in the light of thy countenance.
9 Al our days pass under your wrath, our lives are over like a sigh.	9 For all our days are spent; and in thy wrath we have fainted away. Our years shall be considered spider:
10 The span of our life is seventy years -- eighty for those who are strong -- but their whole extent isanxiety and trouble, they are over in a moment and we are gone.	10 the days of our years in them are threescore and ten years. But if in the strong they be fourscore years: and what is more of them is labour and sorrow. For mildness is come upon us: and we shall be corrected.
11 Who feels the power of your anger, or who that fears you, your wrath?	11 Who knoweth the power of thy anger, and for thy fear
12 Teach us to count up the days that are ours, and we shal come to the heart of wisdom.	12 can number thy wrath? So make thy right hand known: and men learned in heart, in wisdom.
13 Come back, Yahweh! How long must we wait? Take pity on your servants.	13 Return, O Lord, how long? and be entreated in favour of thy servants.
14 Each morning fill us with your faithful love, we shal sing and be happy all our days;	14 We are filled in the morning with thy mercy: and we have rejoiced, and are delighted all our days.
15 let our joy be as long as the time that you afflicted us, the years when we experienced disaster.	15 We have rejoiced for the days in which thou hast humbled us: for the years in which we have seen evils.
16 Show your servants the deeds you do, let their children enjoy your splendour!	16 Look upon thy servants and upon their works: and direct their children.
17 May the sweetness of the Lord be upon us, to confirm the work we have done!	17 And let the brightness of the Lord our God be upon us: and direct thou the works of our hands over us; yea, the work of our hands do thou direct.
