Prayer
of
Moses
the
man
of
God.
Lord,
thou
hast
been
our
dwelling
place
in
all
generations.
2
Before
the
mountains
were
brought
forth,
or
ever
thou
hadst
formed
the
earth
and
the
world,
even
from
everlasting
to
everlasting,
thou
[art]
God.
3
Thou
turnest
man
to
destruction;
and
sayest,
Return,
ye
children
of
men.
4
For
a
thousand
years
in
thy
sight
[are
but]
as
yesterday
when
it
is
past,
and
[as]
a
watch
in
the
night.
5
Thou
carriest
them
away
as
with
a
flood;
they
are
[as]
a
sleep:
in
the
morning
[they
are]
like
grass
[which]
groweth
6
In
the
morning
it
flourisheth,
and
groweth
up;
in
the
evening
it
is
cut
down,
and
withereth.
7
For
we
are
consumed
by
thine
anger,
and
by
thy
wrath
are
we
troubled.
8
Thou
hast
set
our
iniquities
before
thee,
our
secret
[sins]
in
the
light
of
thy
countenance.
9
For
all
our
days
are
passed
away
in
thy
wrath:
we
spend
our
years
as
a
tale
[that
is
told].
10
The
days
of
our
years
[are]
threescore
years
and
ten;
and
if
by
reason
of
strength
[they
be]
fourscore
years,
yet
[is]
their
strength
labour
and
sorrow;
for
it
is
soon
cut
off,
and
we
fly
away.
11
Who
knoweth
the
power
of
thine
anger?
even
according
to
thy
fear,
[so
is]
thy
wrath.
12
So
teach
[us]
to
number
our
days,
that
we
may
apply
[our]
hearts
unto
wisdom.
13
Return,
O
LORD,
how
long?
and
let
it
repent
thee
concerning
thy
servants.
14
O
satisfy
us
early
with
thy
mercy;
that
we
may
rejoice
and
be
glad
all
our
days.
15
Make
us
glad
according
to
the
days
[wherein]
thou
hast
afflicted
us,
[and]
the
years
[wherein]
we
have
seen
evil.
16
Let
thy
work
appear
unto
thy
servants,
and
thy
glory
unto
their
children.
17
And
let
the
beauty
of
the
LORD
our
God
be
upon
us:
and
establish
thou
the
work
of
our
hands
upon
us;
yea,
the
work
of
our
hands
establish
thou
