1A prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, You have been our dwelling place through all generations.A Prayer by Moses, the man of God. Lord, you have been our dwelling place for all generations.A Prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.A Prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, thou hast been our dwelling-place In all generations.2Before the mountains were born or You brought forth the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting You are God.Before the mountains were born, before you had formed the earth and the world, even 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.Before the mountains were brought forth, Or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.3You return man to dust, saying, “Return, O sons of mortals.”You turn man to destruction, saying, “Return, you children of men.”Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men.Thou turnest man to destruction, And sayest, Return, ye children of men.4For in Your sight a thousand years are but a day that passes, or a watch of the night.For a thousand years in your sight are just like yesterday when it is past, like a watch in the night.For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.For a thousand years in thy sight Are but as yesterday when it is past, And as a watch in the night.5You sweep them away in their sleep; they are like the new grass of the morning—You sweep them away as they sleep. In the morning they sprout like new grass.Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: In the morning they are like grass which groweth up.6in the morning it springs up new, but by evening it fades and withers.In the morning it sprouts and springs up. By evening, it is withered and dry.In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; In the evening it is cut down, and withereth.7For we are consumed by Your anger and terrified by Your wrath.For we are consumed in your anger. We are troubled in your wrath.For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.For we are consumed in thine anger, And in thy wrath are we troubled.8You have set our iniquities before You, our secret sins in the light of Your presence.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.Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, Our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.9For all our days decline in Your fury; we finish our years with a sigh.For all our days have passed away in your wrath. We bring our years to an end as a sigh.For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told.For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: We bring our years to an end as a sigh.10The 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 seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty years; yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, for it passes quickly, 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.The days of our years are threescore years and ten, Or even by reason of strength fourscore years; Yet is their pride but labor and sorrow; For it is soon gone, and we fly away.11Who knows the power of Your anger? Your wrath matches the fear You are due.Who knows the power of your anger, your wrath according to the fear that is due to you?Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath.Who knoweth the power of thine anger, And thy wrath according to the fear that is due unto thee?12So teach us to number our days, that we may present a heart of wisdom.So teach us to count our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.So teach us to number our days, That we may get us a heart of wisdom.13Return, O LORD! How long will it be? Have compassion on Your servants.Relent, Yahweh! How long? Have compassion on your servants!Return, O Lord, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.Return, O Jehovah; how long? And let it repent thee concerning thy servants.14Satisfy us in the morning with Your loving devotion, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.Satisfy us in the morning with your loving kindness, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.Oh satisfy us in the morning with thy lovingkindness, That we may rejoice and be glad all our days.15Make us glad for as many days as You have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen evil.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.Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, And the years wherein we have seen evil.16May Your work be shown to Your servants, and Your splendor to their children.Let your work appear to your servants, your glory to their children.Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children.Let thy work appear unto thy servants, And thy glory upon their children.17May 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!Let the favor of the Lord our God be on us. Establish the work of our hands for us. 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.And let the favor 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.
