Psalm 90:5 in context

The verses around it, from Psalm 90.

1 A prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, You have been our dwelling place through all generations.

2 Before the mountains were born or You brought forth the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting You are God.

3 You return man to dust, saying, “Return, O sons of mortals.”

4 For in Your sight a thousand years are but a day that passes, or a watch of the night.

5 You whisk them away in their sleep; they are like the new grass of the morning—

6 in the morning it springs up new, but by evening it fades and withers.

7 For we are consumed by Your anger and terrified by Your wrath.

8 You have set our iniquities before You, our secret sins in the light of Your presence.

9 For all our days decline in Your fury; we finish our years with a sigh.
