Psalms 90:6-14
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 90
6In the morning it flourishes and sprouts anew; Toward evening it wilts and withers away. 7For we have been consumed by Your anger, And we have been terrified by Your wrath. 8You have placed our guilty deeds before You, Our hidden sins in the light of Your presence. 9For all our days have dwindled away in Your fury; We have finished our years like a sigh. 10As for the days of our life, they contain seventy years, Or if due to strength, eighty years, Yet their pride is only trouble and tragedy; For it quickly passes, and we disappear. 11Who understands the power of Your anger And Your fury, according to the fear that is due You? 12So teach us to number our days, That we may present to You a heart of wisdom. 13Do return, Lord; how long will it be? And be sorry for Your servants. 14Satisfy us in the morning with Your graciousness, That we may sing for joy and rejoice all our days.King James Version
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 90
6in the morning it sprouts and grows; by evening it withers and dries up. 7For we are consumed by your anger; we are terrified by your wrath. 8You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence. 9For all our days ebb away under your wrath; we end our years like a sigh. 10Our lives last seventy years or, if we are strong, eighty years. Even the best of them are struggle and sorrow; indeed, they pass quickly and we fly away. 11Who understands the power of your anger? Your wrath matches the fear that is due you.New Living Translation
Chapter 90
6In the morning it blooms and flourishes, but by evening it is dry and withered. 7We wither beneath your anger; we are overwhelmed by your fury. 8You spread out our sins before you — our secret sins — and you see them all. 9We live our lives beneath your wrath, ending our years with a groan.
10Seventy years are given to us! Some even live to eighty. But even the best years are filled with pain and trouble; soon they disappear, and we fly away.
11Who can comprehend the power of your anger? Your wrath is as awesome as the fear you deserve.
12Teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom.
English Standard Version
Chapter 90
6in the morning it flourishes and is renewed; in the evening it fades and withers. 7For we are brought to an end by your anger; by your wrath we are dismayed. 8You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence. 9For all our days pass away under your wrath; we bring our years to an end like a sigh. 10The years of our life are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty; yet their span is but toil and trouble; they are soon gone, and we fly away. 11Who considers the power of your anger, and your wrath according to the fear of you? 12 So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom. 13 Return, O Lord! How long? Have pity on your servants! 14Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.New International Version
Chapter 90
6In the morning it springs up new, but by evening it is dry and withered. 7We are consumed by your anger and terrified by your indignation. 8You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence. 9All our days pass away under your wrath; we finish our years with a moan. 10Our days may come to seventy years, or eighty, if our strength endures; yet the best of them are but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away. 11If only we knew the power of your anger! Your wrath is as great as the fear that is your due.New King James Version
