A
prayer
of
Moses
the
man
of
God.
Lord, You
have
been our dwelling place through
all generations.
Lord, thou
hast
been our dwelling place in
all generations.
Before the mountains were born
or
You
brought forth the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting You
are
God.
Before the mountains were brought forth ,
or
ever
thou
hadst
formed
the earth and the world, even
from everlasting to everlasting ,
thou
art
God.
You
return
man to dust,
saying
, “
Return, O
sons
of mortals
. ”
Thou
turnest
man to destruction;
and
sayest
, Return, ye
children
of men
.
For in
Your
sight
a thousand years are but a
day
that
passes
, or
a watch of
the night.
For a thousand years in
thy
sight
are but as
yesterday
when
it
is
past
, and
as
a watch in
the night.
You
whisk
them away in
their
sleep
; they are like
the
new
grass
of
the morning —
Thou
carriest
them away as
with
a
flood
; they are as
a
sleep:
in
the morning they
are
like
grass
which
groweth
up.
in the morning it springs
up
new
, but
by
evening it fades
and withers
.
In the morning it flourisheth
, and
groweth
up;
in
the
evening it is
cut
down,
and withereth
.
For we are consumed by Your
anger and terrified
by Your
wrath.
For we are consumed by thine
anger ,
and by thy
wrath are
we
troubled
.
You
have
set our iniquities before You
, our secret sins in the light of Your
presence
.
Thou
hast
set our iniquities before thee
, our secret sins in the light of thy
countenance
.
For all our days decline
in Your
fury;
we finish
our years with
a sigh
.
For all our days are
passed
away
in thy
wrath:
we spend
our years as
a tale
that
is
told
.
The length
of our days
is
seventy
years —
or
eighty
if
we
are strong—
yet their
pride
is but
labor
and sorrow ,
for they
quickly
pass
, and we fly away.
The days
of our years are threescore
years
and
ten;
and
if
by
reason
of
strength
they
be
fourscore
years,
yet is their
strength
labour
and sorrow ;
for it
is
soon
cut
off
, and we fly away.
Who knows
the power of Your
anger? Your
wrath
matches
the
fear You
are
due
.
Who knoweth
the power of thine
anger? even
according
to
thy
fear ,
so
is
thy
wrath
.
So teach us to number our days, that we may present
a
heart
of
wisdom.
So teach us to number our days, that we may apply
our
hearts
unto
wisdom.
Return, O LORD !
How long will
it
be
? Have
compassion
on
Your
servants.
Return, O LORD ,
how long? and
let
it
repent
thee
concerning
thy
servants.
Satisfy us in
the
morning
with Your
loving
devotion,
that we may sing
for
joy
and be glad all our days.
O
satisfy us early
with thy
mercy;
that we may rejoice
and be glad all our days.
Make us glad for
as
many
days as
You
have
afflicted us, for
as
many
years as
we have seen evil.
Make us glad according
to
the
days wherein
thou
hast
afflicted us, and
the
years wherein
we have seen evil.
May
Your
work be
shown
to
Your
servants, and Your
splendor
to
their children.
Let
thy
work appear
unto
thy
servants, and thy
glory
unto
their children.
May
the favor
of the Lord our God rest
upon us ;
establish for
us
the work of our hands —
yes
, establish
the work of our hands !
And
let
the beauty
of the LORD our God be
upon us :
and
establish thou
the work of our hands upon
us;
yea
, the work of our hands establish
thou
it.
