"Ten more years... maybe not!!!"

 

If there are ten additional years (see Psalm 90), they might be cut short.  See the following renderings and pay especially close attention to the wording in verse 14.

Psalm 90:12-15

King James Version (KJV)

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

13 Return, O Lord, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.

14 O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

15 Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil.

 

Psalm 90:12-15

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

12 So teach us to number our days,
That we may [a]present to You a heart of wisdom.

13 Do return, O Lord; how long will it be?
And [b]be sorry for Your servants.
14 O satisfy us in the morning with Your lovingkindness,
That we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.
15 Make us glad [c]according to the days You have afflicted us,
And the years we have seen [d]evil.

 

Psalm 90:12-15

Wycliffe Bible (WYC)

12 Make thy right hand so known; and make men learned in heart by wisdom. (Make thy right hand, or thy power, known to us/Teach us that our days be short; and so make people learned in their hearts with thy wisdom.)

13 Lord, be thou converted some-deal; and be thou able to be prayed of (by) thy servants. (Lord, how long until thou be turned somewhat; and then thou be able to be prayed to, or petitioned by, thy servants?)

14 We were [ful]filled early with thy mercy; we made full out joy, and we delighted in all our days. (Fulfill us/Fill us full each morning with thy love; so that we can rejoice, and be glad, in all our days.)

15 We were glad for the days in which thou madest us meek; for the years in which we saw evils. (Make us glad now in recompense for the days in which thou hast humbled us; yea, for the years in which we endured evils.)

 

Psalm 90:12-15

Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

12 To number our days aright let [us] know, And we bring the heart to wisdom.

13 Turn back, O Jehovah, till when? And repent concerning Thy servants.

14 Satisfy us at morn [with] Thy kindness, And we sing and rejoice all our days.

15 Cause us to rejoice according to the days Wherein Thou hast afflicted us, The years we have seen evil.

 

Psalm 90:12-15

Darby Translation (DARBY)

12 So teach [us] to number our days, that we may acquire a wise heart.

13 Return, Jehovah: how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.

14 Satisfy us early with thy loving-kindness; that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.

15 Make us glad according to the days [wherein] thou hast afflicted us, according to the years [wherein] we have seen evil.

 

Psalm 90:12-15

Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

12 Teach us to number our days carefully
so that we may develop wisdom in our hearts.[a]

13 Lord—how long?
Turn and have compassion on Your servants.
14 Satisfy us in the morning with Your faithful love
so that we may shout with joy and be glad all our days.
15 Make us rejoice for as many days as You have humbled us,
for as many years as we have seen adversity.
