Psalms 90

1 Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.

2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.

3 Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men.

4 For thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.

5 Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.

6 In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; and in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.

7 For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.

8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.

9 For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told.

10 The days of our years are three-score years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their their strength labor and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

11 Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath.

12 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

13 Return, O Lord, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.

14 O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

15 Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil.

16 Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children.

17 And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.

ref. - Job 38:4-6 - Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. Who laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? Or who hath stretched the line upon it? Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;

Ec 12:7 - Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.

2P 3:8 - But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day with the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

Is 40:6 - The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field.

Job 14:12 - So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.

Jer 16:17 - For mine eyes are upon all their ways: they are not hid from my face, neither is their iniquity hid from mine eyes.

Ec 12:14 - For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

Ps 39:4 - Lord, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am.

Dt 32:36 - For the Lord shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants, when he teeth that their power is gone, and there is none shut up, or left.

Hab 3:2 - O Lord, I have heard thy speech, and was afraid: O Lord, revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known; in wrath remember mercy.

Is 26:12 - Lord, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought all our works in us.

Let all those in need of comfort be comforted. Let all those in need of mercy, be given mercy. Let all those in need of conviction, be convicted. Let all those in need of repentance, repent. Let all those in need of peace, find peace. Let all those in need of judgment, receive it. Let all those in need of salvation, be saved. Let all those in need of rest, find rest. For we are all in need of Christ, as this is where all access to God dwells. Have a great day!!!!
