A Prayer of Moses, the man of God. Lord, a habitation Thou — Thou hast been, To us — in generation and generation,
2 Before mountains were brought forth, And You form the earth and the world, Even from age to age You [are] God.
Before mountains were brought forth, And Thou dost form the earth and the world, Even from age unto age Thou [art] God.
3 You turn man to a bruised thing, And say, Return, you sons of men.
Thou turnest man unto a bruised thing, And sayest, Turn back, ye sons of men.
4 For one thousand years in Your eyes [are] as yesterday, For it passes on, indeed, [as] a watch by night.
For a thousand years in Thine eyes [are] as yesterday, For it passeth on, yea, a watch by night.
5 You have inundated them, they are asleep, In the morning he changes as grass.

6 In the morning it flourishes, and has changed, At evening it is cut down, and has withered.

7 For we were consumed in Your anger, And we have been troubled in Your fury.

8 You have set our iniquities before You, Our hidden things at the light of Your face,
Thou hast set our iniquities before Thee, Our hidden things at the light of Thy face,
9 For all our days pined away in Your wrath, We consumed our years as a (meditation)
For all our days pined away in Thy wrath, We consumed our years as a (meditation)
10 The days of our years, in them [are] seventy years, And if, by reason of might, eighty years, Yet their enlargement [is] labor and vanity, For it has been cut off quickly, and we fly away.
Days of our years, in them [are] seventy years, And if, by reason of might, eighty years, Yet [is] their enlargement labour and vanity, For it hath been cut off hastily, and we fly away.
11 Who knows the power of Your anger? And according to Your fear—Your wrath?
Who knoweth the power of Thine anger? And according to Thy fear — Thy wrath?
12 Let [us] know to number our days correctly, And we bring the heart to wisdom.
To number our days aright let [us] know, And we bring the heart to wisdom.
13 Turn back, O YHWH, until when? And regret concerning Your servants.
Turn back, O Jehovah, till when? And repent concerning Thy servants.
14 Satisfy us at morning [with] Your kindness, And we sing and rejoice all our days.
Satisfy us at morn [with] Thy kindness, And we sing and rejoice all our days.
15 Cause us to rejoice according to the days Wherein You have afflicted us, The years we have seen evil.
Cause us to rejoice according to the days Wherein Thou hast afflicted us, The years we have seen evil.
16 Let Your work appear to Your servants, And Your honor on their sons.
Let Thy work appear unto Thy servants, And Thine honour on their sons.
17 And let the pleasantness of our God YHWH be on us, And establish on us the work of our hands, Indeed, establish the work of our hands!
And let the pleasantness of Jehovah our God be upon us, And the work of our hands establish on us, Yea, the work of our hands establish it!
