Read the chapter

1Lord, You have been our dwelling place in all generations. ✦ 2Before the mountains were born Or You gave birth to the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God. ✦ 3¶You turn mortals back into dust And say, “Return, you sons of mankind.” ✦ 4For a thousand years in Your sight Are like yesterday when it passes by, Or like a watch in the night. ✦ 5You have swept them away like a flood, they fall asleep; In the morning they are like grass that sprouts anew. ✦ 6In the morning it flourishes and sprouts anew; Toward evening it wilts and withers away. ✦ 7¶For we have been consumed by Your anger, And we have been terrified by Your wrath. ✦ 8You have placed our guilty deeds before You, Our hidden sins in the light of Your presence. ✦ 9For all our days have dwindled away in Your fury; We have finished our years like a sigh. ✦ 10As for the days of our life, they contain seventy years, Or if due to strength, eighty years, Yet their pride is only trouble and tragedy; For it quickly passes, and we disappear. ✦ 11Who understands the power of Your anger And Your fury, according to the fear that is due You? ✦ 12So teach us to number our days, That we may present to You a heart of wisdom. ✦ 13¶Do return, Lord; how long will it be? And be sorry for Your servants. ✦ 14Satisfy us in the morning with Your graciousness, That we may sing for joy and rejoice all our days. ✦ 15Make us glad according to the days You have afflicted us, And the years we have seen evil. ✦ 16Let Your work appear to Your servants And Your majesty to their children. ✦ 17May the kindness of the Lord our God be upon us; And confirm for us the work of our hands; Yes, confirm 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.
