Psalms 90:4-10
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 90
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. 7For 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.King James Version
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 90
4For in your sight a thousand years are like yesterday that passes by, like a few hours of the night. 5You end their lives; they sleep. They are like grass that grows in the morning—
6in the morning it sprouts and grows; by evening it withers and dries up.
7For we are consumed by your anger; we are terrified by your wrath.
8You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence.
9For all our days ebb away under your wrath; we end our years like a sigh.
10Our lives last seventy years or, if we are strong, eighty years. Even the best of them are struggle and sorrow; indeed, they pass quickly and we fly away.
New Living Translation
Chapter 90
4For you, a thousand years are as a passing day, as brief as a few night hours. 5You sweep people away like dreams that disappear. They are like grass that springs up in the morning. 6In the morning it blooms and flourishes, but by evening it is dry and withered. 7We wither beneath your anger; we are overwhelmed by your fury. 8You spread out our sins before you — our secret sins — and you see them all. 9We live our lives beneath your wrath, ending our years with a groan.English Standard Version
Chapter 90
4For a thousand years in your sight are but as yesterday when it is past, or as a watch in the night. 5You sweep them away as with a flood; they are like a dream, like grass that is renewed in the morning: 6in the morning it flourishes and is renewed; in the evening it fades and withers. 7For we are brought to an end by your anger; by your wrath we are dismayed. 8You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence. 9For all our days pass away under your wrath; we bring our years to an end like a sigh. 10The years of our life are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty; yet their span is but toil and trouble; they are soon gone, and we fly away.New International Version
Chapter 90
4A thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night. 5Yet you sweep people away in the sleep of death— they are like the new grass of the morning:
6In the morning it springs up new, but by evening it is dry and withered.
7We are consumed by your anger and terrified by your indignation.
8You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence.
9All our days pass away under your wrath; we finish our years with a moan.
10Our days may come to seventy years, or eighty, if our strength endures; yet the best of them are but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away.
New King James Version
