Psalm 90:1-3
1599 Geneva Bible
90 1 Moses in his prayer setteth before us the eternal favor of God toward his, 3 who are neither admonished by the brevity of their life, 7 nor by his plagues to be thankful, 12 therefore Moses prayeth God to turn their hearts, and continue his mercies toward them and their posterity forever.
A prayer of Moses, [a]the man of God.
1 Lord, thou hast been our [b]habitation from generation to generation.
2 Before the [c]mountains were made, and before thou hadst formed the earth, and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting thou art our God.
3 Thou [d]turnest man to destruction: again thou sayest, Return ye sons of Adam.
