Pause & Pray: November 15, 2020

¹Lord, you have been our refuge
from one generation to another.
²Before the mountains were brought forth, or the land and the earth were born,
from age to age you are God.
³You turn us back to the dust and say,
“Turn back, O children of earth.”
⁴For a thousand years in your sight are like yesterday when | it is past
and like a watch in the night;
⁵you sweep them away like a dream,
they fade away suddenly like the grass:
⁶in the morning it is green and flourishes;
in the evening it is dried up and withered.
⁷For we are consumed by your anger;
we are afraid because of your wrath.
⁸Our iniquities you have set before you,
and our secret sins in the light of your countenance.
⁹When you are angry, all our days are gone;
we bring our years to an end like a sigh.
¹⁰The span of our life is seventy years, perhaps in strength even eighty;
yet the sum of them is but labor and sorrow, for they pass away quickly and we are gone.
¹¹Who regards the power of your wrath?
Who rightly fears your indignation?
¹²So teach us to number our days
that we may apply our hearts to wisdom.

Psalm 90:1-12
