PSAL. XC.

[1]

Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place

in generations all.

2

Before thou ever hadst brought forth

the mountains great or small.
Ere ever thou hadst form'd the earth,
and all the world abroad,
Ev'n thou, from everlasting art
to everlasting, God.

3

Thou dost unto destruction

man that is mortal turn;
And unto them thou say'st, again
ye sons of men return.

4

Because a thousand years appear

no more before thy sight
Then yesterday, when it is past,
or then a watch by night.

5

As with an overflowing floud

thou carriest them away:
They like a sleep are, like the grasse
that grows at morn are they.

6

At morn it flourishes and growes,

cut down at ev'n doth fade:

7

For by thine anger we consume,

thy wrath makes us afraid.

8

Our sins thou and iniquities

dost in thy presence place,
And setst our secret faults before
the brightnesse of thy face.

9

For in thine anger all our dayes

do passe on, to an end;
And, as a tale that hath been told,
so we our years do spend.

10

Threescore and ten years do sum up

our dayes and years we see:
Or if by reason of more strength,
in some fourscore they be;
Yet doth the strength of such old men
but grief and labour prove;
For it is soon cut oft, and we
fly hence, and soon remove.

11

Who knowes the power of thy wrath

according to thy fear

12

So is thy wrath. Lord teach thou us

our end in mind to bear:
And so to count our dayes, that we
our hearts may stil apply
To learn thy wisdom and thy truth,
that we may live thereby.

13

Turn yet again to us, O Lord;

how long thus shal it be?
Let it repent thee now, for those
that servants are to thee.

14

O with thy tender mercies, Lord,

us early satisfie;
So we rejoyce shal all our dayes,
and still be glad in thee.

15

According as the dayes have been

wherein we grief have had,
And years wherein we ill have seen,
so do thou make us glad.

16

O let thy work and pow'r appear

thy servants face before;
And show unto their children dear
thy glory evermore.

17

And let the beauty of the Lord

our God be us upon:
Our handie-works establish thou,
establish them each one.
