Psalm 90
Kies 'n beryming om te vergelyk
Vers 1
in generations all.
Before thou ever hadst brought forth
the mountains great or small;
Vers 2
and all the world abroad;
Ev’n thou from everlasting art
to everlasting God.
Vers 3
man that is mortal turn;
And unto them thou say’st, Again,
ye sons of men, return.
Vers 4
no more before thy sight
Than yesterday, when it is past,
or than a watch by night.
Vers 5
thou carry’st them away:
They like a sleep are, like the grass
that grows at morn are they.
Vers 6
cut down at ev’n doth fade.
For by thine anger we’re consum’d,
thy wrath makes us afraid.
Vers 7
dost in thy presence place,
And sett’st our secret faults before
the brightness of thy face.
Vers 8
do pass on to an end;
And as a tale that hath been told,
so we our years do spend.
Vers 9
our days and years, we see;
Or, if, by reason of more strength,
in some fourscore they be:
Vers 10
but grief and labour prove;
For it is soon cut off,
and we fly hence, and soon remove.
Vers 11
according to thy fear
So is thy wrath: Lord, teach thou us
our end in mind to bear;
Vers 12
our hearts may still apply
To learn thy wisdom and thy truth,
that we may live thereby.
Vers 13
how long thus shall it be?
Let it repent thee now for those
that servants are to thee.
Vers 14
us early satisfy;
So we rejoice shall all our days,
and still be glad in thee.
Vers 15
wherein we grief have had,
And years wherein we ill have seen,
so do thou make us glad.
Vers 16
thy servants’ face before;
And shew unto their children dear
thy glory evermore:
Vers 17
our God be us upon:
Our handy-works establish thou,
establish them each one.
