Psalm 90:2-6

King James Version

²Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.

³Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men.

⁴For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.

⁵Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.

⁶In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.

Psalm 90:2-6

New International Version

²Before the mountains were born^(A)
or you brought forth the whole world,
from everlasting to everlasting^(B) you are God.^(C)

³You turn people back to dust,
    saying, “Return to dust, you mortals.”^(D)
⁴A thousand years in your sight
    are like a day that has just gone by,
    or like a watch in the night.^(E)
⁵Yet you sweep people away^(F) in the sleep of death—
    they are like the new grass of the morning:
⁶In the morning it springs up new,
    but by evening it is dry and withered.^(G)
