A Prayer of Moses the man of G-d. L-rd, Thou hast been our dwelling-place in all generations

90:002

Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever Thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, Thou art G-d

90:003

Thou turnest man to contrition; and sayest: 'Return, ye children of men.

90:004

For a thousand years in Thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night

90:005

Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep; in the morning they are like grass which groweth up

90:006

In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth

90:007

For we are consumed in Thine anger, and by Thy wrath are we hurried away

90:008

Thou hast set our iniquities before Thee, our secret sins in the light of Thy countenance

90:009

For all our days are passed away in Thy wrath; we bring our years to an end as a tale that is told

90:010

The days of our years are threescore years and ten, or even by reason of strength fourscore years; yet is their pride but travail and vanity; for it is speedily gone, and we fly away

90:011

Who knoweth the power of Thine anger, and Thy wrath according to the fear that is due unto Thee

90:012

So teach us to number our days, that we may get us a heart of wisdom

90:013

Return, O HaShem; how long? And let it repent Thee concerning Thy servants

90:014

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

90:015

Make us glad according to the days wherein Thou hast afflicted us, according to the years wherein we have seen evil

90:016

Let Thy work appear unto Thy servants, and Thy glory upon their children

90:017

And let the graciousness of the L-rd our G-d be upon us; establish Thou also upon us the work of our hands; yea, the work of our hands establish Thou it
