Psalms 90 · Grade 3
A Heart of Wisdom
Read the Story
The title of Psalm 90 calls it a Prayer by Moses, the man of God. Lord, you have been our dwelling place for all generations. Before the mountains were born, before you had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.
For a thousand years in your sight are just like yesterday when it is past. People are like new grass. In the morning it sprouts. By evening, it is withered and dry. Our years pass quickly.
So Moses prays, Teach us to count our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. Satisfy us in the morning with your loving kindness, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. Establish the work of our hands.
