Psalm 90:5-12 Devotionals, Articles & Bible Study

⁵You whisk them away in their sleep;

they are like the new grass of the morning —

⁶in the morning it springs up new,

but by evening it fades and withers.

⁷For we are consumed by Your anger

and terrified by Your wrath.

⁸You have set our iniquities before You,

our secret sins in the light of Your presence.

⁹For all our days decline in Your fury;

we finish our years with a sigh.

¹⁰The length of our days is seventy years —

or eighty if we are strong —

yet their pride is but labor and sorrow,

for they quickly pass, and we fly away.

¹¹Who knows the power of Your anger?

Your wrath matches the fear You are due.

¹²So teach us to number our days,

that we may present a heart of wisdom.

— Psalm 90:5-12
