1A Prayer by Moses, the man of God. Lord, you have been our dwelling place for all generations. ✦ 2Before the mountains were born, before you had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God. ✦ 3You turn man to destruction, saying, “Return, you children of men.” ✦ 4For a thousand years in your sight are just like yesterday when it is past, like a watch in the night. ✦ 5You sweep them away as they sleep. In the morning they sprout like new grass. ✦ 6In the morning it sprouts and springs up. By evening, it is withered and dry. ✦ 7For we are consumed in your anger. We are troubled in your wrath. ✦ 8You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence. ✦ 9For all our days have passed away in your wrath. We bring our years to an end as a sigh. ✦ 10The days of our years are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty years; yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, for it passes quickly, and we fly away. ✦ 11Who knows the power of your anger, your wrath according to the fear that is due to you? ✦ 12So teach us to count our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. ✦ 13Relent, Yahweh! How long? Have compassion on your servants! ✦ 14Satisfy us in the morning with your loving kindness, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. ✦ 15Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen evil. ✦ 16Let your work appear to your servants; your glory to their children. ✦ 17Let the favor of the Lord our God be on us; establish the work of our hands for us; yes, establish the work of our hands. ✦

Christ at the center

The Psalms are Christ's own prayer book and a gallery of his portraits — the suffering one of Psalm 22, the risen Lord of Psalm 16, the priest-king of Psalm 110, the Son to whom the nations are given.

How Psalms 90 points to him is part of the one story that runs through all Scripture — meet Jesus at the heart of the web, or follow a trail that traces him from Genesis to Revelation.
