Daily Bible Verse - 1/4/2008 - Psalm 90:4

For a thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night.

For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.

For a thousand years in Your sight Are like yesterday when it passes by, Or as a watch in the night.

Psalm 90:4

Commentary
Even if people lived a thousand years, they would pass away like a watch in the night. A thousand years may seem long at the time, but not in comparison to God's eternal existence.
