Hebrews 11:9-16
King James Version
9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:
10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
11 Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.
12 Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.
13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
14 For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.
15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.
16 But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath 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
King James Version
3 Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men.
4 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
5 Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.
6 In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.
7 For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.
8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.
9 For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told.
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.
11 Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath.
12 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

Psalm 90:3-12
New International Version
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)
