New Century Version

Psalms 90:10-17 New Century Version (NCV)

10. Our lifetime is seventy yearsor, if we are strong, eighty years.But the years are full of hard work and pain.They pass quickly, and then we are gone.

11. Who knows the full power of your anger?Your anger is as great as our fear of you should be.

12. Teach us how short our lives really areso that we may be wise.

13. Lord, how long before you returnand show kindness to your servants?

14. Fill us with your love every morning.Then we will sing and rejoice all our lives.

15. We have seen years of trouble.Now give us as much joy as you gave us sorrow.

16. Show your servants the wonderful things you do;show your greatness to their children.

17. Lord our God, treat us well.Give us success in what we do;yes, give us success in what we do.
