Psalm 90
Guds evighet och människans förgänglighet
1 En bön av gudsmannen Mose.
Herre, du har varit vår tillflykt
från släkte till släkte.
2 Innan bergen blev till
och du skapade jorden och världen,
ja, från evighet till evighet är du, Gud.
3 Du låter människorna vända åter till stoft,
du säger: "Vänd åter, ni människors[a] barn!"
4 Ty tusen år är i dina ögon
som den dag som förgick i går,
de är som en nattväkt.
5 Du sköljer dem bort, de är som en sömn.
Om morgonen liknar de gräset som frodas.
6 Om morgonen gror det och blomstrar,
om aftonen vissnar det och blir torrt.
7 Vi går under genom din vrede,
genom din förbittring förskräcks vi.
8 Du ställer våra missgärningar inför dig,
våra hemliga synder i ditt ansiktes ljus.
9 Alla våra dagar försvinner genom din harm,
vi slutar våra år som en suck.
10 Vårt liv varar sjuttio år
eller åttio, om krafterna räcker.
När det är som bäst är det möda och bekymmer.
Snart är det förbi, vi flyger bort.
11 Vem känner din vredes makt
och din harm, så att han fruktar dig?
12 Lär oss inse att våra dagar är räknade,
så att vi får visa hjärtan.
13 Vänd åter, Herre! Hur länge dröjer du?
Förbarma dig över dina tjänare!
14 Mätta oss med din nåd när morgonen gryr,
så att vi får jubla och vara glada
i alla våra dagar.
15 Gläd oss lika många dagar
som du har plågat oss,
lika många år som vi har sett olycka.
16 Låt dina gärningar uppenbaras för dina tjänare
och din härlighet över deras barn.
17 Må Herrens, vår Guds, ljuvlighet vara över oss.
Ge framgång åt våra händers verk,
ja, åt våra händers verk må du ge framgång.

Psalm 90
King James Version
90 Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.
2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.
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.
13 Return, O Lord, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.
14 O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
15 Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil.
16 Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children.
17 And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.
Psalm 90
English Standard Version
Book Four
From Everlasting to Everlasting
A (A)Prayer of Moses, the (B)man of God.
90 Lord, you have been our (C)dwelling place[a]
in all generations.
2 (D)Before the (E)mountains were brought forth,
or ever you had formed the earth and the world,
(F)from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
3 You return man to dust
and say, (G)“Return, (H)O children of man!”[b]
4 For (I)a thousand years in your sight
are but as (J)yesterday when it is past,
or as (K)a watch in the night.
5 You (L)sweep them away as with a flood; they are like (M)a dream,
like (N)grass that is renewed in the morning:
6 in (O)the morning it flourishes and is renewed;
in the evening it (P)fades and (Q)withers.
7 For we are brought to an end by your anger;
by your wrath we are dismayed.
8 You have (R)set our iniquities before you,
our (S)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[c] 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 (T)So teach us to number our days
that we may get a heart of wisdom.
13 (U)Return, O Lord! (V)How long?
Have (W)pity on your servants!
14 Satisfy us in the (X)morning with your steadfast love,
that we may (Y)rejoice and be glad all our days.
15 Make us glad for as many days as you have (Z)afflicted us,
and for as many years as we have seen evil.
16 Let your (AA)work be shown to your servants,
and your glorious power to their children.
17 Let the (AB)favor[d] of the Lord our God be upon us,
and establish (AC)the work of our hands upon us;
yes, establish the work of our hands!
