Psalm 90: 1-6, 13-17



Psalm 90:1-6 Common English Bible (CEB)

90 Lord, you have been our help,
    generation after generation.
Before the mountains were born,
    before you birthed the earth and the inhabited world—
    from forever in the past
    to forever in the future, you are God.
You return people to dust,
    saying, “Go back, humans,”
    because in your perspective a thousand years
    are like yesterday past,
    like a short period during the night watch.
You sweep humans away like a dream,
    like grass that is renewed in the morning.
True, in the morning it thrives, renewed,
    but come evening it withers, all dried up.

Psalm 90:13-17 Common English Bible (CEB)

13 Come back to us, Lord!
    Please, quick!
    Have some compassion for your servants!
14 Fill us full every morning with your faithful love
    so we can rejoice and celebrate our whole life long.
15 Make us happy for the same amount of time that you
 afflicted us—
    for the same number of years that we saw only trouble.
 Let your acts be seen by your servants;
    let your glory be seen by their children.

Let the kindness of the Lord our God be over us.

    Make the work of our hands last.
    Make the work of our hands last!

  1. "Make the work of our hands last." Be aware of how you are using your hands today to point to Jesus and to build-up the Kingdom of God. Be mindful of the faithful legacy that you are leaving.
