Read in context

Psalms 90:10–14 · Berean Standard Bible

10 The 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.

11 Who knows the power of Your anger? Your wrath matches the fear You are due.

12 So teach us to number our days, that we may present a heart of wisdom.

13 Return, O LORD! How long will it be? Have compassion on Your servants.

14 Satisfy us in the morning with Your loving devotion, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.
