From Everlasting to Everlasting

A 90:0 Ps. 17, title; 55:1Prayer of Moses, the 90:0 Deut. 33:1; Josh. 14:6; Ezra 3:2man of God.

1Lord, you have been our 90:1 See Ps. 71:3dwelling place90:1 Some Hebrew manuscripts (compare Septuagint) our refuge

in all generations.

290:2 Prov. 8:25Before the 90:2 [Deut. 33:15; Job 15:7] mountains were brought forth,

or ever you had formed the earth and the world,

90:2 See Job 36:26from everlasting to everlasting you are God.

3You return man to dust

and say, 90:3 Gen. 3:19“Return, 90:3 Eccles. 12:7O children of man!”90:3 Or of Adam

4For 90:4 2 Pet. 3:8a thousand years in your sight

are but as 90:4 [Ps. 39:5] yesterday when it is past,

or as 90:4 Ex. 14:24; Judg. 7:19a watch in the night.

5You 90:5 Ps. 58:9sweep them away as with a flood; they are like 90:5 See Job 20:8a dream,

like 90:5 Ps. 37:2; 103:15; 2 Kgs. 19:26; Isa. 40:6-8; 1 Pet. 1:24grass that is renewed in the morning:

6in 90:6 See Job 4:20the morning it flourishes and is renewed;

in the evening it 90:6 Job 14:2; [Ps. 92:7] fades and 90:6 James 1:11withers.

7For we are brought to an end by your anger;

by your wrath we are dismayed.

8You have 90:8 Jer. 16:17; Heb. 4:13set our iniquities before you,

our 90:8 Ps. 19:12secret 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 span90:10 Or pride 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?

1290:12 Ps. 39:4So teach us to number our days

that we may get a heart of wisdom.

1390:13 Ps. 6:4Return, O Lord! 90:13 See Ps. 74:9, 10How long?

Have 90:13 Ps. 106:45; 135:14; Ex. 32:12; Deut. 32:36; Judg. 2:18; Jonah 3:10; See Gen. 6:6pity on your servants!

14Satisfy us in the 90:14 See Ps. 46:5morning with your steadfast love,

that we may 90:14 See Ps. 85:6rejoice and be glad all our days.

15Make us glad for as many days as you have 90:15 [Deut. 8:2]afflicted us,

and for as many years as we have seen evil.

16Let your 90:16 Ps. 77:12; 92:4; 95:9; Deut. 32:4; Hab. 3:2work be shown to your servants,

and your glorious power to their children.

17Let the 90:17 Ps. 27:4favor90:17 Or beauty of the Lord our God be upon us,

and establish 90:17 [Ps. 128:2]; [Isa. 26:12]the work of our hands upon us;

yes, establish the work of our hands!
