Saturday’s Meditation: Psalm 90:1-4,12 – God’s Eternity and Human Frailty

Lord, you have been our dwelling-place
     in all generations.
Before the mountains were brought forth,
     or the land and the earth were born,
     from age to age you are God.

You turn us back to dust,
     and say, ‘Turn back, you mortals.’
For a thousand years in your sight
     are like yesterday when it is past,
     or like a watch in the night.

So teach us to number our days
     that we may apply our hearts to wisdom.
