A PrayerH8605 of MosesH4872 the manH376 of God.H430 Lord,H136 you have beenH1961 our dwellingH4583 place in all generations.H1755
2
BeforeH2962 the mountainsH2022 were broughtH3205 forth,H3205 or ever you had formedH2342 the earthH776 and the world,H8398 even from everlastingH5769 to everlasting,H5769 you are God.H410
3
You turnH7725 manH582 to destruction;H1793 and say,H559 Return,H7725 you childrenH1121 of men.H120
4
For a thousandH505 yearsH8141 in your sightH5869 are but as yesterdayH865 whenH3588 it is past,H5674 and as a watchH821 in the night.H3915
5
You carryH2229 them away as with a flood;H2229 they are as a sleep:H8142 in the morningH1242 they are like grassH2682 which growsH2498 up.
6
In the morningH1242 it flourishes,H6692 and growsH2498 up; in the eveningH6153 it is cutH4135 down, and wither.H3001
7
For we are consumedH3615 by your anger,H639 and by your wrathH2534 are we troubled.H926
8
You have setH7896 our iniquitiesH5771 beforeH5048 you, our secretH5956 sins in the lightH3974 of your countenance.H6440
9
For allH3605 our daysH3117 are passedH6437 away in your wrath:H5678 we spendH3615 our yearsH8141 as a taleH1899 that is told.
10
The daysH3117 of our yearsH8141 are three scoreH7657 yearsH8141 and ten; and ifH518 by reason of strengthH1369 they be fourscoreH8084 years,H8141 yet is their strengthH7296 laborH5999 and sorrow;H205 for it is soonH2440 cutH1504 off, and we flyH5774 away.
11
WhoH4310 knowsH3045 the powerH5797 of your anger?H639 even according to your fear,H3374 so is your wrath.H5678
12
SoH3651 teachH3045 us to numberH4487 our days,H3117 that we may applyH935 our heartsH3824 to wisdom.H2451
13
Return,H7725 O LORD,H3068 howH5704 long?H5704 and let it repentH5162 you concerningH5921 your servants.H5650
14
O satisfyH7646 us earlyH1242 with your mercy;H2617 that we may rejoiceH7442 and be gladH8056 allH3605 our days.H3117
15
Make us gladH8056 according to the daysH3117 wherein you have afflictedH6031 us, and the yearsH8141 wherein we have seenH7200 evil.H7451
16
Let your workH6467 appearH7200 to your servants,H5650 and your gloryH1926 to their children.H1121
17
And let the beautyH5278 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430 be on us: and establishH3559 you the workH4639 of our handsH3027 on us; yes, the workH4639 of our handsH3027 establishH3559 you it.
