                           _PSALMS XC.-CVI._




                               PSALM XC.

     1 Lord, a dwelling-place hast Thou been for us
       In generation after generation.
     2 Before the mountains were born,
       Or Thou gavest birth to the earth and the world,
       Even from everlasting, Thou art God.
     3 Thou turnest frail man back to dust,
       And sayest, "Return, ye sons of man."
     4 For a thousand years in Thine eyes are as yesterday when it was
           passing,
       And a watch in the night.
     5 Thou dost flood them away, a sleep do they become,
       In the morning they are like grass [which] springs afresh.
     6 In the morning it blooms and springs afresh,
       By evening it is cut down and withers.

     7 For we are wasted away in Thine anger,
       And by Thy wrath have we been panic-struck.
     8 Thou hast set our iniquities before Thee,
       Our secret [sins] in the radiance of Thy face.
