[A prayer of Moses the man of God.] Lord, you have been our dwelling-place throughout all generations. |
2
|
Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God. |
3
|
You turn men back to dust, saying, "Return to dust, O sons of men." |
4
|
For a thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night. |
5
|
You sweep men away in the sleep of death; they are like the new grass of the morning-- |
6
|
though in the morning it springs up new, by evening it is dry and withered. |
7
|
We are consumed by your anger and terrified by your indignation. |
8
|
You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence. |
9
|
All our days pass away under your wrath; we finish our years with a moan. |
10
|
The length of our days is seventy years--or eighty, if we have the strength; yet their span is but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away. |
11
|
Who knows the power of your anger? For your wrath is as great as the fear that is due to you. |
12
|
Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. |
13
|
Relent, O LORD! How long will it be? Have compassion on your servants. |
14
|
Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days. |
15
|
Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen trouble. |
16
|
May your deeds be shown to your servants, your splendour to their children. |
17
|
May the favour of the Lord our God rest upon us; establish the work of our hands for us--yes, establish the work of our hands. |
