1	A Prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. [A Prayer...: or, A Prayer, being a Psalm of Moses] [in...: Heb. in generation and generation]
			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. [when...: or, when he hath passed them]
			5	Thou carriest them away as with a flood# ; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up# . [groweth...: or, is changed]
			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 . [passed...: Heb. turned away] [as a...: or, as a meditation]
			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# . [The days...: Heb. As for the days of our years, in them are seventy years]
			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. [apply: Heb. cause to come]
			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 it.
