| [1]Lord, thou hast been our refuge in all generations. |
[1]A PrayerH8605 of MosesH4872 the manH376 of GodH430. LordH136, thou hast been our dwelling placeH4583 in allH1755 generationsH1755. |
| [2]Before the mountains existed, and before the earth and the world were formed, even from age to age, Thou art. |
[2]Before the mountainsH2022 were brought forthH3205[H8795], or ever thou hadst formedH2342[H8787] the earthH776 and the worldH8398, even from everlastingH5769 toH5704 everlastingH5769, thou art GodH410. |
| [3]Turn not man back to his low place, whereas thou saidst, Return, ye sons of men? |
[3]Thou turnestH7725[H8686] manH582 to destructionH1793; and sayestH559[H8799], ReturnH7725[H8798], ye childrenH1121 of menH120. |
| [4]For a thousand years in thy sight are as the yesterday which is past, and as a watch in the night. |
[4]For a thousandH505 yearsH8141 in thy sightH5869 are but asH3117 yesterdayH865 when it is pastH5674[H8799], and as a watchH821 in the nightH3915. |
| [5]Years shall be vanity to them: let the morning pass away as grass. |
[5]Thou carriest them away as with a floodH2229[H8804]; they are as a sleepH8142: in the morningH1242 they are like grassH2682 which groweth upH2498.[H8799] |
| [6]In the morning let it flower, and pass away: in the evening let it droop, let it be withered and dried up. |
[6]In the morningH1242 it flourishethH6692[H8686], and groweth upH2498[H8804]; in the eveningH6153 it is cut downH4135[H8787], and witherethH3001.[H8804] |
| [7]For we have perished in thine anger, and in thy wrath we have been troubled. |
[7]For we are consumedH3615[H8804] by thine angerH639, and by thy wrathH2534 are we troubledH926.[H8738] |
| [8]Thou hast set our transgressions before thee: our age is in the light of thy countenance. |
[8]Thou hast setH7896[H8804] our iniquitiesH5771 before thee, our secretH5956[H8803] sins in the lightH3974 of thy countenanceH6440. |
| [9]For all our days are gone, and we have passed away in thy wrath: our years have spun out their tale as a spider. |
[9]For all our daysH3117 are passed awayH6437[H8804] in thy wrathH5678: we spendH3615[H8765] our yearsH8141 as a tale that is toldH1899. |
| [10]As for the days of our years, in them are seventy years; and if men should be in strength, eighty years: and the greater part of them would be labour and trouble; for weakness overtakes us, and we shall be chastened. |
[10]The daysH3117 of our yearsH8141 are threescoreH7657 yearsH8141 and tenH7657; and if by reason of strengthH1369 they be fourscoreH8084 yearsH8141, yet is their strengthH7296 labourH5999 and sorrowH205; for it is soonH2440 cut offH1468[H8804], and we fly awayH5774.[H8799] |
| [11]Who knows the power of thy wrath? |
[11]Who knowethH3045[H8802] the powerH5797 of thine angerH639? even according to thy fearH3374, so is thy wrathH5678. |
| [12]and who knows how to number his days because of the fear of thy wrath? So manifest thy right hand, and those that are instructed in wisdom in the heart. |
[12]So teachH3045[H8685] us to numberH4487[H8800] our daysH3117, that we may applyH935[H8686] our heartsH3824 unto wisdomH2451. |
| [13]Return, O Lord, how long? and be intreated concerning thy servants. |
[13]ReturnH7725[H8798], O LORDH3068, how long? and let it repentH5162[H8734] thee concerning thy servantsH5650. |
| [14]We have been satisfied in the morning with thy mercy; and we did exult and rejoice: |
[14]O satisfyH7646[H8761] us earlyH1242 with thy mercyH2617; that we may rejoiceH7442[H8762] and be gladH8055[H8799] all our daysH3117. |
| [15]let us rejoice in all our days, in return for the days wherein thou didst afflict us, the years wherein we saw evil. |
[15]Make us gladH8055[H8761] according to the daysH3117 wherein thou hast afflictedH6031[H8765] us, and the yearsH8141 wherein we have seenH7200[H8804] evilH7451. |
| [16]And look upon thy servants, and upon thy works; and guide their children. |
[16]Let thy workH6467 appearH7200[H8735] unto thy servantsH5650, and thy gloryH1926 unto their childrenH1121. |
| [17]And let the brightness of the Lord our God be upon us: and do thou direct for us the works of our hands. |
[17]And let the beautyH5278 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430 be upon us: and establishH3559[H8786] thou the workH4639 of our handsH3027 upon us; yea, the workH4639 of our handsH3027 establishH3559 thou itH8786. |
