\d A prayer of Moses the man of God.
|
|
\b
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 1 Lord, you have been our refuge
|
|
\q throughout all generations.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 2 Before the mountains were formed,
|
|
\q or you formed the earth and the world,
|
|
\q from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 3 You return man to dust,
|
|
\q and you say, "Return, you descendants of mankind."
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 4 For a thousand years in your sight
|
|
\q are as yesterday when it is past,
|
|
\q and as a watch in the night.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 5 You sweep them away as with a flood and they sleep;
|
|
\q in the morning they are like the grass that sprouts up.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 6 In the morning it blooms and grows up;
|
|
\q in the evening it withers and dries up.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 7 Truly, we are consumed in your anger,
|
|
\q and in your wrath we are terrified.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 8 You have set our iniquities before you,
|
|
\q our hidden sins in the light of your presence.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 9 Our life passes away under your wrath;
|
|
\q our years quickly pass like a sigh.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 10 Our years are seventy,
|
|
\q or even eighty if we are healthy;
|
|
\q but even our best years are marked by trouble and sorrow.
|
|
\q Yes, they pass quickly, and we fly away.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 11 Who knows the intensity of your anger;
|
|
\q your wrath matches the fear it inspires?
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 12 So teach us to consider our life
|
|
\q so that we might live wisely.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 13 Turn back, Yahweh! How long will it be?
|
|
\q Have pity on your servants.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 14 Satisfy us in the morning with your covenant faithfulness
|
|
\q so that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 15 Make us glad in proportion to the days you afflicted us
|
|
\q and to the years we have experienced trouble.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 16 Let your servants see your work,
|
|
\q and let our children see your majesty.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 17 May the favor of the Lord our God be ours;
|
|
\q prosper the work of our hands;
|
|
\q indeed, prosper the work of our hands.
