1. A Prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, You have been our dwelling place in all generations. | |
2. Before the mountains were brought forth, Or ever You had formed the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God. | |
3. You turn man to destruction, And say, "Return, O children of men." | |
4. For a thousand years in Your sight Are like yesterday when it is past, And like a watch in the night. | |
5. You carry them away like a flood; They are like a sleep. In the morning they are like grass which grows up | |
6. In the morning it flourishes and grows up; In the evening it is cut down and withers. | |
7. For we have been consumed by Your anger, And by Your wrath we are terrified. | |
8. You have set our iniquities before You, Our secret sins in the light of Your countenance. | |
9. For all our days have passed away in Your wrath; We finish our years like a sigh. | |
10. The days of our lives are seventy years; And if by reason of strength they are eighty years, Yet their boast is only labor and sorrow; For it is soon cut off, and we fly away. | |
11. Who knows the power of Your anger? For as the fear of You, so is Your wrath. | |
12. So teach us to number our days, That we may gain a heart of wisdom. | |
13. Return, O Lord! How long? And have compassion on Your servants. | |
14. Oh, satisfy us early with Your mercy, That we may rejoice and be glad all our days! | |
15. Make us glad according to the days in which You have afflicted us, The years in which we have seen evil. | |
16. Let Your work appear to Your servants, And Your glory to their children. | |
17. And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us, And establish the work of our hands for us; Yes, establish the work of our hands. |
