Life is a very short time, time goes by so quickly
We must face reality about the shortness of life.
We must focus on what God wants us to do while we are here on earth.
Psalm 90
God’s Eternity and Man’s Transitoriness.
A Prayer of Moses, the man of God.
1
Lord, You have been our dwelling place in all
generations.
2
Before the mountains were born
Or You gave birth to the earth and the world,
Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.
Or You gave birth to the earth and the world,
Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.
3
You turn man back into dust
And say, “Return, O children of men.”
And say, “Return, O children of men.”
4
For a thousand years in Your sight
Are like yesterday when it passes by,
Or as a watch in the night.
Are like yesterday when it passes by,
Or as a watch in the night.
5
You have swept them away like a flood, they fall
asleep;
In the morning they are like grass which sprouts anew.
In the morning they are like grass which sprouts anew.
6
In the morning it flourishes and sprouts
anew;
Toward evening it fades and withers away.
Toward evening it fades and withers away.
7
For we have been consumed by Your anger
And by Your wrath we have been dismayed.
And by Your wrath we have been dismayed.
8
You have placed our iniquities before You,
Our secret sins in the light of Your presence.
Our secret sins in the light of Your presence.
9
For all our days have declined in Your fury;
We have finished our years like a sigh.
We have finished our years like a sigh.
10
As for the days of our life, they contain seventy
years,
Or if due to strength, eighty years,
Yet their pride is but labor and sorrow;
For soon it is gone and we fly away.
Or if due to strength, eighty years,
Yet their pride is but labor and sorrow;
For soon it is gone and we fly away.
11
Who understands the power of Your anger
And Your fury, according to the fear that is due You?
And Your fury, according to the fear that is due You?
12
So teach us to number our days,
That we may present to You a heart of wisdom.
That we may present to You a heart of wisdom.
13
Do return, O Lord; how long will it be?
And be sorry for Your servants.
And be sorry for Your servants.
14
O satisfy us in the morning with Your
loving kindness,
That we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.
That we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.
15
Make us glad according to the days You have afflicted
us,And the years we have seen
evil.
16
Let Your work appear to Your servants
And Your majesty to their children.
And Your majesty to their children.
17
Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us;
And confirm for us the work of our hands;
Yes, confirm the work of our hands.
