| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1A prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, you have been our dwelling place throughout all generations. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the whole world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3You turn people back to dust, saying, "Return to dust, you mortals." |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4A thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5Yet you sweep people away in the sleep of death-- they are like the new grass of the morning: |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6In the morning it springs up new, but by evening it is dry and withered. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7We are consumed by your anger and terrified by your indignation. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9All our days pass away under your wrath; we finish our years with a moan. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10Our days may come to seventy years, or eighty, if our strength endures; yet the best of them are but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11If only we knew the power of your anger! Your wrath is as great as the fear that is your due. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13Relent, LORD! How long will it be? Have compassion on your servants. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen trouble. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16May your deeds be shown to your servants, your splendor to their children. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us; establish the work of our hands for us-- yes, establish the work of our hands. |
