A Prayer of Moses the man of God.
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.
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.
11.Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath.
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.
