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.

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.
