Hebrews 11:9-16
English Standard Version
9 By faith he went to live in (A)the land of promise, as in a foreign land, (B)living in tents (C)with Isaac and Jacob, heirs with him of the same promise. 10 For he was looking forward to (D)the city that has (E)foundations, (F)whose designer and builder is God. 11 By faith (G)Sarah herself received power to conceive, even when she was past the age, since she considered (H)him faithful who had promised. 12 Therefore from one man, and (I)him as good as dead, were born descendants (J)as many as the stars of heaven and as many as the innumerable grains of sand by the seashore.
13 These all died in faith, (K)not having received the things promised, but (L)having seen them and greeted them from afar, and (M)having acknowledged that they were (N)strangers and exiles on the earth. 14 For people who speak thus make it clear that they are seeking a homeland. 15 If they had been thinking of that land from which they had gone out, (O)they would have had opportunity to return. 16 But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed (P)to be called their God, for (Q)he has prepared for them a city.

New International Version
9 By faith he made his home in the promised land(A) like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents,(B) as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise.(C) 10 For he was looking forward to the city(D) with foundations,(E) whose architect and builder is God.(F) 11 And by faith even Sarah, who was past childbearing age,(G) was enabled to bear children(H) because she[a] considered him faithful(I) who had made the promise. 12 And so from this one man, and he as good as dead,(J) came descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sand on the seashore.(K)
13 All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised;(L) they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance,(M) admitting that they were foreigners and strangers on earth.(N) 14 People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own. 15 If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return.(O) 16 Instead, they were longing for a better country—a heavenly one.(P) Therefore God is not ashamed(Q) to be called their God,(R) for he has prepared a city(S) for them.

Psalm 90:3-12
English Standard Version
3 You return man to dust
and say, (A)“Return, (B)O children of man!”[a]
4 For (C)a thousand years in your sight
are but as (D)yesterday when it is past,
or as (E)a watch in the night.
5 You (F)sweep them away as with a flood; they are like (G)a dream,
like (H)grass that is renewed in the morning:
6 in (I)the morning it flourishes and is renewed;
in the evening it (J)fades and (K)withers.
7 For we are brought to an end by your anger;
by your wrath we are dismayed.
8 You have (L)set our iniquities before you,
our (M)secret sins in the light of your presence.
9 For all our days pass away under your wrath;
we bring our years to an end like a sigh.
10 The years of our life are seventy,
or even by reason of strength eighty;
yet their span[b] is but toil and trouble;
they are soon gone, and we fly away.
11 Who considers the power of your anger,
and your wrath according to the fear of you?
12 (N)So teach us to number our days
that we may get a heart of wisdom.

3 You turn people back to dust,
saying, “Return to dust, you mortals.”(A)
4 A thousand years in your sight
are like a day that has just gone by,
or like a watch in the night.(B)
5 Yet you sweep people away(C) in the sleep of death—
they are like the new grass of the morning:
6 In the morning it springs up new,
but by evening it is dry and withered.(D)
7 We are consumed by your anger
and terrified by your indignation.
8 You have set our iniquities before you,
our secret sins(E) in the light of your presence.(F)
9 All our days pass away under your wrath;
we finish our years with a moan.(G)
10 Our days may come to seventy years,(H)
or eighty,(I) if our strength endures;
yet the best of them are but trouble and sorrow,(J)
for they quickly pass, and we fly away.(K)
11 If only we knew the power of your anger!
Your wrath(L) is as great as the fear that is your due.(M)
12 Teach us to number our days,(N)
that we may gain a heart of wisdom.(O)
