"How much better to get wisdom than gold, to choose understanding rather than silver!"

-Proverbs 16:16

Psalm 90

A Prayer of Moses the man of God.

 ¹ Lord, You have been our dwelling place in all generations.
 ² Before the mountains were brought forth,
         Or ever You had formed the earth and the world,
         Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.
       
 ³ You turn man to destruction,
         And say, “Return, O children of men.”
 ⁴ For a thousand years in Your sight
         Are like yesterday when it is past,
         And like a watch in the night.
 ⁵ You carry them away like a flood;
         They are like a sleep.
         In the morning they are like grass which grows up:
 ⁶ In the morning it flourishes and grows up;
         In the evening it is cut down and withers.
       
 ⁷ For we have been consumed by Your anger,
         And by Your wrath we are terrified.
 ⁸ You have set our iniquities before You,
         Our secret sins in the light of Your countenance.
 ⁹ For all our days have passed away in Your wrath;
         We finish our years like a sigh.
 ¹⁰ The days of our lives are seventy years;
         And if by reason of strength they are eighty years,
         Yet their boast is only labor and sorrow;
         For it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
 ¹¹ Who knows the power of Your anger?
         For as the fear of You, so is Your wrath.
 ¹² So teach us to number our days,
         That we may gain a heart of wisdom. 
       
 ¹³ Return, O LORD!
         How long?
         And have compassion on Your servants.
 ¹⁴ Oh, satisfy us early with Your mercy,
         That we may rejoice and be glad all our days!
 ¹⁵ Make us glad according to the days in which You have afflicted us,
         The years in which we have seen evil.
 ¹⁶ Let Your work appear to Your servants,
         And Your glory to their children.
 ¹⁷ And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us,
         And establish the work of our hands for us;
         Yes, establish the work of our hands.
