Book Four (Psalms 90–106)

A Prayer by Moses, the man of God.§

[1] Lord,§ you have been our dwelling place for all generations.
[2] Before the mountains were born,
before you had formed the earth and the world,
even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.
[3] You turn man to destruction, saying,
“Return, you children of men.”
[4] For a thousand years in your sight are just like yesterday when it is past,
like a watch in the night.
[5] You sweep them away as they sleep.
In the morning they sprout like new grass.
[6] In the morning it sprouts and springs up.
By evening, it is withered and dry.
[7] For we are consumed in your anger.
We are troubled in your wrath.
[8] You have set our iniquities before you,
our secret sins in the light of your presence.
[9] For all our days have passed away in your wrath.
We bring our years to an end as a sigh.
[10] 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] Who knows the power of your anger,
your wrath according to the fear that is due to you?
[12] So teach us to count our days,
that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
[13] Relent, Yahweh!§
How long?
Have compassion on your servants!
[14] Satisfy us in the morning with your loving kindness,
that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
[15] Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us,
for as many years as we have seen evil.
[16] Let your work appear to your servants,
your glory to their children.
[17] Let the favor of the Lord our God be on us.
Establish the work of our hands for us.
Yes, establish the work of our hands.

A Prayer H8605 of Moses H4872 the man H376 of God. H430

[1] Lord, H136 thou hast been our dwelling place H4583
In all H1755 generations. H1755§
[2] Before the mountains H2022 were brought forth, H3205 or ever thou hadst formed H2342 the earth H776 and the world, H8398
Even from everlasting H5769 to H5704 everlasting, H5769 thou art God. H410
[3] Thou turnest H7725 man H582 to destruction; H1793
And sayest, H559 Return, H7725 ye children H1121 of men. H120
[4] For H3588 a thousand H505 years H8141 in thy sight H5869 are but as H3117 yesterday H865
When it is past, H5674§ and as a watch H821 in the night. H3915
[5] Thou carriest them away as with a flood; H2229 they are as a sleep: H8142
In the morning H1242 they are like grass H2682 which groweth up. H2498§
[6] In the morning H1242 it flourisheth, H6692 and groweth up; H2498
In the evening H6153 it is cut down, H4135 and withereth. H3001
[7] For H3588 we are consumed H3615 by thine anger, H639
And by thy wrath H2534 are we troubled. H926
[8] Thou hast set H7896 our iniquities H5771 before thee,
Our secret H5956 sins in the light H3974 of thy countenance. H6440
[9] For H3588 all H3605 our days H3117 are passed away H6437§ in thy wrath: H5678
We spend H3615 our years H8141 as a tale H1899§ that is told.
[10] The days H3117 of our years H8141 are threescore H7657 years H8141 and ten; H7657§ And if by reason of strength H1369 they be fourscore H8084 years, H8141
Yet is their strength H7296 labour H5999 and sorrow; H205 For H3588 it is soon H2440 cut off, H1468 and we fly away. H5774
[11] Who knoweth H3045 the power H5797 of thine anger? H639
Even according to thy fear, H3374 so is thy wrath. H5678
[12] So H3651 teach H3045 us to number H4487 our days, H3117
That we may apply H935§ our hearts H3824 unto wisdom. H2451
[13] Return, H7725 O Lord, H3068 how long?
And let it repent H5162 thee concerning thy servants. H5650
[14] O satisfy H7646 us early H1242 with thy mercy; H2617
That we may rejoice H7442 and be glad H8055 all H3605 our days. H3117
[15] Make us glad H8055 according to the days H3117 wherein thou hast afflicted H6031 us,
And the years H8141 wherein we have seen H7200 evil. H7451
[16] Let thy work H6467 appear H7200 unto thy servants, H5650
And thy glory H1926 unto their children. H1121
[17] And let the beauty H5278 of the Lord H3068 our God H430 be upon us:
And establish H3559 thou the work H4639 of our hands H3027 upon H5921 us; Yea, the work H4639 of our hands H3027 establish H3559 thou it.
