Welcome to the Word of God online
Today will be reading Psalms 90 from the living Bible
Lord, through all the generations you have been our home! Before the mountains were created, before the Earth was formed, you are God without beginning or end.
You speak, and man turns back to dust. A thousand years are but as yesterday to you! They are like a single hour! We glide along the tides of time as swiftly as a racing river, and vanish as quickly as a dream. We are like grass is green in the morning but mowed down and withered before the evening shadows fall. We die beneath your anger; we are overwhelmed by your wrath. You spread out our sins before you — our secret sins — and see them all. No wonder the years are long and heavy here beneath your wrath. All our days are filled with sighing.
70 years are given us! And some may even live to 80. But even the best of these years are often emptiness and pain: soon they disappear, and we are gone. Who can realize the terrors of your anger? Which of us can fear you as he should?
Teach us to number our days and recognize how few they are; help us to spend them as we should.
O Jehovah, come and bless us! How long will you delay? Turn away your anger from us. Satisfy us in our earliest youth with your lovingkindness, giving us constant joy to the end of our lives. Give us gladness in proportion to our former measuring! Replace the evil years with good. Let us see your miracles again; let our children see glorious things, the kind you used to do, and let the Lord our God favor us and give us access
