A Prayer of Moses the man of God.

[1] Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.

[2] Before the mountains were brought forth,

Or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world,

Even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.

[3] Thou turnest man to destruction;

And sayest, Return, ye children of men.

[4] For a thousand years in thy sight

Are but as yesterday when it is past,

And as a watch in the night.

[5] Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep:

In the morning they are like grass which groweth up.

[6] In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up;

In the evening it is cut down, and withereth.

[7] For we are consumed by thine anger,

And by thy wrath are we troubled.

[8] Thou hast set our iniquities before thee,

Our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.

[9] For all our days are passed away in thy wrath:

We spend our years as a tale that is told.

[10] 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.

[11] Who knoweth the power of thine anger?

Even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath.

[12] So teach us to number our days,

That we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

[13] Return, O Lord, how long?

And let it repent thee concerning thy servants.

[14] O satisfy us early with thy mercy;

That we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

[15] Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us,

And the years wherein we have seen evil.

[16] Let thy work appear unto thy servants,

And thy glory unto their children.

[17] 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.
