Ps 90:9-17

9Our life ebbs away under your wrath;^g

our years end like a sigh.

10Seventy is the sum of our years,

or eighty, if we are strong;

Most of them are toil and sorrow;

they pass quickly, and we are gone.

11Who comprehends the strength of your anger?

Your wrath matches the fear it inspires.

12Teach us to count our days aright,

that we may gain wisdom of heart.

13Relent, O LORD! How long?

Have pity on your servants!

14Fill us at daybreak with your mercy,^h

that all our days we may sing for joy.

15Make us glad as many days as you humbled us,

for as many years as we have seen trouble.ⁱ

16Show your deeds to your servants,

your glory to their children.

17May the favor of the Lord our God be ours.^j

Prosper the work of our hands!

Prosper the work of our hands!
