Psalm 90:10-17
Common English Bible
10 We live at best to be seventy years old,
maybe eighty, if we’re strong.
But their duration brings hard work and trouble
because they go by so quickly.
And then we fly off.
11 Who can comprehend the power of your anger?
The honor that is due you corresponds to your wrath.
12 Teach us to number our days
so we can have a wise heart.
13 Come back to us, Lord!
Please, quick!
Have some compassion for your servants!
14 Fill us full every morning with your faithful love
so we can rejoice and celebrate our whole life long.
15 Make us happy for the same amount of time that you afflicted us—
for the same number of years that we saw only trouble.
16 Let your acts be seen by your servants;
let your glory be seen by their children.
17 Let the kindness of the Lord our God be over us.
Make the work of our hands last.
Make the work of our hands last!

Psalm 90:10-17
New International Version
10 Our days may come to seventy years,(A)
or eighty,(B) if our strength endures;
yet the best of them are but trouble and sorrow,(C)
for they quickly pass, and we fly away.(D)
11 If only we knew the power of your anger!
Your wrath(E) is as great as the fear that is your due.(F)
12 Teach us to number our days,(G)
that we may gain a heart of wisdom.(H)
13 Relent, Lord! How long(I) will it be?
Have compassion on your servants.(J)
14 Satisfy(K) us in the morning with your unfailing love,(L)
that we may sing for joy(M) and be glad all our days.(N)
15 Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us,
for as many years as we have seen trouble.
16 May your deeds be shown to your servants,
your splendor to their children.(O)
