I need to organize psalm 90 and write it into a literary correct format?

This is the text I am working with

A prayer of Moses the man of God.

Lord, you have been our dwelling place

throughout all generations.

Before the mountains were born

or you brought forth the earth and the world,

from everlasting to everlasting you are God.

For a thousand years in your sight

are like a day that has just gone by,

or like a watch in the night.

You cover men with the sleep of night;

they are like the new grass of the morning-

You have set our iniquities before you,

our secret sins in the light of your presence.

Who truly knows your power

For your strength is as great as the fear that is due you.

Teach us to be aware of our each and every day,

that we may gain a heart of wisdom.

Return, O LORD! How long will it be?

Have compassion on your servants.

Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love,

that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.

Make us glad for as many days as you have been away from your glory,
