^{1 Ref} <A Prayer of Moses, the man of God.> Lord, you have been our resting-place in all generations.

^{2 Ref} Before the mountains were made, before you had given birth to the earth and the world, before time was, and for ever, you are God.

^{3 Ref} You send man back to his dust; and say, Go back, you children of men.

^{4 Ref} For to you a thousand years are no more than yesterday when it is past, and like a watch in the night.

^{7 Ref} We are burned up by the heat of your passion, and troubled by your wrath.

^{8 Ref} You have put our evil doings before you, our secret sins in the light of your face.

^{9 Ref} For all our days have gone by in your wrath; our years come to an end like a breath.

^{10 Ref} The measure of our life is seventy years; and if through strength it may be eighty years, its pride is only trouble and sorrow, for it comes to an end and we are quickly gone.

^{11 Ref} Who has knowledge of the power of your wrath, or who takes note of the weight of your passion?

^{12 Ref} So give us knowledge of the number of our days, that we may get a heart of wisdom.

^{13 Ref} Come back, O Lord; how long? let your purpose for your servants be changed.

^{3 Ref} You turn man to destruction, saying, "Return, you children of men."

^{4 Ref} For a thousand years in your sight Are but as yesterday when it is past, As a watch in the night.

^{5 Ref} You sweep them away as they sleep. In the morning they sprout like new grass.

^{6 Ref} In the morning it sprouts and springs up. By evening, it is withered and dry.

^{7 Ref} For we are consumed in your anger. We are troubled in your wrath.

^{8 Ref} You have set our iniquities before you, Our secret sins in the light of your presence.

^{9 Ref} For all our days have passed away in your wrath. We bring our years to an end as a sigh.

^{10 Ref} 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.

^{11 Ref} Who knows the power of your anger, Your wrath according to the fear that is due to you?

^{12 Ref} So teach us to number our days, That we may gain a heart of wisdom.

^{13 Ref} Relent, Yahweh! How long? Have compassion on your servants!

^{14 Ref} Satisfy us in the morning with your loving kindness, That we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

^{4 Ref} For a thousand years in thy sight Are but as yesterday when it is past, And as a watch in the night.

^{5 Ref} Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: In the morning they are like grass which groweth up.

^{6 Ref} In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; In the evening it is cut down, and withereth.

^{7 Ref} For we are consumed in thine anger, And in thy wrath are we troubled.

^{8 Ref} Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, Our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.

^{9 Ref} For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: We bring our years to an end as a sigh.

^{10 Ref} 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.

^{11 Ref} Who knoweth the power of thine anger, And thy wrath according to the fear that is due unto thee?

^{12 Ref} So teach us to number our days, That we may get us a heart of wisdom.
