Psalms 90:5

Read in context

Psalms 90:3–7 · Berean Standard Bible

3 You return man to dust, saying, “Return, O sons of mortals.”

4 For in Your sight a thousand years are but a day that passes, or a watch of the night.

5 You whisk them away in their sleep; they are like the new grass of the morning—

6 in the morning it springs up new, but by evening it fades and withers.

7 For we are consumed by Your anger and terrified by Your wrath.
