Psalms 90:3 Context
1[A prayer of Moses the man of God.] Lord, thou hast bene our dwelling place in all generations. 2Before the mountaines were broughtforth, or euer thou hadst formed the earth and the world: euen from euerlasting to euerlasting thou art God. 3Thou turnest man to destruction: and sayest, Returne yee children of men. 4For a thousand yeeres 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 sleepe: in the morning they are like grasse which groweth vp.
