| 1 | A Prayer of Moses the man of God. 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 contrition; 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 in Thine anger, And by Thy wrath are we hurried away. |
| 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 bring our years to an end as a tale that is told. |
| 10 | The days of our years are threescore years and ten, Or even by reason of strength fourscore years; Yet is their pride but travail and vanity; For it is speedily gone, and we fly away. |
| 11 | Who knoweth the power of Thine anger, And Thy wrath according to the fear that is due unto Thee? |
| 12 | So teach us to number our days, That we may get us a heart of wisdom. |
| 13 | Return, O LORD; how long? And let it repent Thee concerning Thy servants. |
| 14 | O satisfy us in the morning 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, According to the years wherein we have seen evil. |
| 16 | Let Thy work appear unto Thy servants, And Thy glory upon their children. |
| 17 | And let the graciousness of the Lord our God be upon us; Establish Thou also upon us the work of our hands; Yea, the work of our hands establish Thou it. |
