Psalms 90:1 In-Context

1 O Lord, you have been our help {in all generations}.
2 Before [the] mountains were born and you brought forth [the] earth and [the] world, even from everlasting to everlasting, you [are] God.
3 You return man to [the] dust, {saying}, "Return, O sons of man."
4 For a thousand years in your eyes [are] like yesterday when it passes, or [like] a watch in the night.
5 You sweep them away [like a flood]. They fall asleep. In the morning [they are] like grass [that] sprouts anew.
