A PrayerH8605 of MosesH4872 the manH376 of GodH430. LordH136, thou hast been our dwelling placeH4583 in allH1755 generationsH1755. {A Prayer…: or, A Prayer, being a Psalm of Moses} {in…: Heb. in generation and generation}
Before the mountainsH2022 were brought forthH3205, or ever thou hadst formedH2342 the earthH776 and the worldH8398, even from everlastingH5769 toH5704 everlastingH5769, thou art GodH410.
Thou turnestH7725 manH582 to destructionH1793; and sayestH559, ReturnH7725, ye childrenH1121 of menH120.
For a thousandH505 yearsH8141 in thy sightH5869 are but asH3117 yesterdayH865 when it is pastH5674, and as a watchH821 in the nightH3915. {when…: or, when he hath passed them}
Thou carriest them away as with a floodH2229; they are as a sleepH8142: in the morningH1242 they are like grassH2682 which groweth upH2498. {groweth…: or, is changed}
In the morningH1242 it flourishethH6692, and groweth upH2498; in the eveningH6153 it is cut downH4135, and witherethH3001.
For we are consumedH3615 by thine angerH639, and by thy wrathH2534 are we troubledH926.
Thou hast setH7896 our iniquitiesH5771 before thee, our secretH5956 sins in the lightH3974 of thy countenanceH6440.
For all our daysH3117 are passed awayH6437 in thy wrathH5678: we spendH3615 our yearsH8141 as a taleH1899 that is told. {passed…: Heb. turned away} {as a…: or, as a meditation}
The daysH3117 of our yearsH8141 are threescoreH7657 yearsH8141 and tenH7657; and if by reason of strengthH1369 they be fourscoreH8084 yearsH8141, yet is their strengthH7296 labourH5999 and sorrowH205; for it is soonH2440 cut offH1468, and we fly awayH5774. {The days…: Heb. As for the days of our years, in them are seventy years}
Who knowethH3045 the powerH5797 of thine angerH639? even according to thy fearH3374, so is thy wrathH5678.
So teachH3045 us to numberH4487 our daysH3117, that we may applyH935 our heartsH3824 unto wisdomH2451. {apply: Heb. cause to come}
ReturnH7725, O LORDH3068, how long? and let it repentH5162 thee concerning thy servantsH5650.
O satisfyH7646 us earlyH1242 with thy mercyH2617; that we may rejoiceH7442 and be gladH8055 all our daysH3117.
Make us gladH8055 according to the daysH3117 wherein thou hast afflictedH6031 us, and the yearsH8141 wherein we have seenH7200 evilH7451.
Let thy workH6467 appearH7200 unto thy servantsH5650, and thy gloryH1926 unto their childrenH1121.
And let the beautyH5278 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430 be upon us: and establishH3559 thou the workH4639 of our handsH3027 upon us; yea, the workH4639 of our handsH3027 establishH3559 thou it.
