Psalm 90
A prayer of Moses, the man of God.
1 Lord, you have been our refugeA
in every generation.a
2 Before the mountains were born,
before you gave birth to the earth and the world,
from eternity to eternity, you are God.b
3 You return mankind to the dust,
saying, “Return, descendants of Adam.”c
4 For in your sight a thousand years
are like yesterday that passes by,
like a few hours of the night.d
5 You end their lives;B they sleep.e
They are like grass that grows in the morning—
6 in the morning it sprouts and grows;
by evening it withers and dries up.f
7 For we are consumed by your anger;
we are terrified by your wrath.g
8 You have set our iniquities before you,
our secret sins in the light of your presence.h
9 For all our days ebb away under your wrath;
we end our years like a sigh.i
10 Our lives lastC seventy years
or, if we are strong, eighty years.
Even the best of them areD struggle and sorrow;
indeed, they pass quickly and we fly away.j
11 Who understands the power of your anger?
Your wrath matches the fear that is due you.k
12 Teach us to number our days carefully
so that we may develop wisdom in our hearts.E,l
Turn and have compassion on your servants.m
14 Satisfy us in the morning with your faithful love
so that we may shout with joy and be glad all our days.n
15 Make us rejoice for as many days as you have humbled us,
for as many years as we have seen adversity.o
16 Let your work be seen by your servants,
and your splendor by their children.p
17 Let the favor of the Lord our God be on us;
establish for us the work of our hands—
establish the work of our hands!q

About Christian Standard BibleThe Christian Standard Bible (CSB) is a highly trustworthy, faithful translation that is proven to be the optimal blend of accuracy and readability. It’s as literal to the original as possible without sacrificing clarity. The CSB is poised to become the translation that pastors rely on and Bible readers turn to again and again to read and to share with others. The CSB is an original translation: more than 100 scholars from 17 denominations translated directly from the best available Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic source texts into English. Its source texts are the standard used by scholars and seminaries today. The CSB is trustworthy: the conservative, evangelical scholars of the CSB affirm the authority of Scripture as the inerrant Word of God and seek the highest level of faithfulness to the original and accuracy in their translation. These scholars and LifeWay, the non-profit ministry that stewards the CSB, also champion the Bible against cultural trends that would compromise its truths. The CSB is clear: it is as literal a translation of the ancient source texts as possible, but, in the many places throughout Scripture where a word-for-word rendering might obscure the meaning for a modern audience, it uses a more dynamic translation. In all cases, the intent is to convey the original meaning of God’s Word as faithfully and as clearly as possible. |
