Time-A thousand years, a day to God

Psalm 90:4 NIV ” For a thousand years in your sight are like a day ….”

Psalms 90:4-17
[4]A thousand years to you are like one day;     they are like yesterday, already gone, like a short hour in the night.
[5]You carry us away like a flood; we last no longer than a dream. We are like weeds that sprout in the morning,    
[6]that grow and burst into bloom, then dry up and die in the evening.
[7]We are destroyed by your anger; we are terrified by your fury.
[8]You place our sins before you, our secret sins where you can see them.
[9]Our life is cut short by your anger; it fades away like a whisper.
[10]Seventy years is all we have — eighty years, if we are strong; yet all they bring us is trouble and sorrow; life is soon over, and we are gone.
[11]Who has felt the full power of your anger?     Who knows what fear your fury can bring?
[12]Teach us how short our life is, so that we may become wise.
[13]How much longer will your anger last?     Have pity, O Lord, on your servants!
[14]Fill us each morning with your constant love,  so that we may sing and be glad all our life.
[15]Give us now as much happiness as the sadness you gave us during all our years of misery.
[16]Let us, your servants, see your mighty deeds;  let our descendants see your glorious might.
[17]Lord our God, may your blessings be with us.  Give us success in all we do!
