Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place from one generation to another. *2. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. *3. Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, "Return, ye children of men." *4. For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night. *5. Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep; in the morning they are like grass which groweth up. *6. In the morning it flourisheth and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth. *7. For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled. *8. Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance. *9. For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told. *10. The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labor and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. *11. Who knoweth the pow'r of thine anger? even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath. *12. So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. *13. Return, O Lord, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants. *14. O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. *15. Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil. *16. Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children. *17. And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it. Amen. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Psalm 90 (Ives)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
