Psalms 90

Matthew(i) 1 A prayer of Moyses the man of God. Lorde thou art oure refuge from one generacion to another. 2 Before the mountaines were broughte forthe, or euer the earthe and the worlde were made, thou art God from euerlastynge and worlde without ende. 3 Thou turnest man to destruccyon, Agayne, thou sayest: come agayne ye chyldren of men 4 For a thousande yeares in thy sighte are but as yesterdaye that is past, and lyke as it were a nyght watch. 5 As sone as thou scatrest them, they are euen as a slepe, & fade awaye sodenly like the grasse. 6 In the mornyng it is grene and groweth vp, but in the euenynge it is cut doune and wythered. 7 For we consume awaye in thy displeasure, and are afrayed at thy wrathful indignacion. 8 Thou settest our misdedes before the, and our secrete sinnes in the light of thy countenaunce. 9 For when thou art angrye, all oure dayes are gone, we brynge our yeares to an ende, as it were a tale that is tolde. 10 The dayes of oure age are .iij. score yeares and ten: and though men be so strong that they come to foure score yeares, yet is their strength then but laboure, & sorowe: so soone passeth it awaye, and we are gone. 11 But who regardeth the power of thy wrath thy fearfull and terrible displeasure? 12 O teach vs to numbre our daies, that we maye apply our hertes vnto wisdome. 13 Turne the agayn (O Lorde) at the last, & be gracious vnto thy seruauntes. 14 O satisfie vs with thy mercy, & that sone, so shall we reioyse and be glad all the dayes of our lyfe. 15 Comforte vs agayne, now after the tyme that thou hast plaged vs, and for the yeares wherin we haue suffred aduersitie. 16 Shewe thy seruauntes thy worke, & their chyldren thy glory. 17 And the glorious maiesty of the Lord our God be vpon vs: O prospere thou the worke of our handes vpon vs, O prospere thou our handy worke.
