�Psalm XC.
Lord, thou hast Â·b een our ref.uge:
from one generation to another.
Before the :mountains were brought
forth, or ever the earth and the
world were made :
Thou- art God
from everlasting, and world without
end.
Thou turn est man to destruction:
ag.a in thou sayest, Come again, ye
children of men.
F1or Â·a thousand years in thy sight
are but as yesterday; seeing that is
past as â€¢a rwat:ch in the niglht.
As soon as thou srcatterest them,
they are even as a sleÂ·e p: and fa:de
a;way like the grass.
In .the morning it is green and
groweth up : :b ut in the eveninâ€¢g it is
C'ut d.a wn, dried Â·u p, and withered.
FÂ·o r we consume away in thy displeasure : and are aJraid at thy
wratihful indignation.
T Â·hou lhast set our misdeeds be:fore
thee : and our Â·s ecret sins in thÂ·e
light of thy oountenamce.
For when thou art angry all our
days. Â·a re gone : we bring our years
to an end, as it were a tale that is
told.
Â· The dayâ€¢s of our age are itJhree
score and ten; and thoug;h men 1b e
so str.ong, that they oome to fourscore years:
yet .then is their
strength 'but labour and sorrow; so
soon Â·p asseth it away, and we are
gone.
But who regardeth the po.w er of
thy wratih: for even thereafter as a
man feareth, so is th.y . disÂ·pleasâ€¢ure.
O teach us to number our days:
that Â·We may apply our he.a rts unto
wisdom.
Turn thee again, O Lord, at the
last; and be 1gra:cious unto thy servan.ts.
o sÂ·a tisfy us with tihy mer.c y, and
that soon: so Â·shall we rejoice and Â·b e
rg lad all the days of our life.
.Co1m1"ort us again nÂ·ow -a fter the
time that .thou ha Sit .plaigued us; and
for the years wherein we lhave suffered adversity.
Show thy servants thy work: and
their children .t hy glory.
And the glorious Maj.e sty of the
LoÂ·rd our God rb e up.on us, prosÂ·per
tlhou the wo.rk of our hands upon usÂ·,
O prosper thou our handy-work.
