BOOK 4

God’s Eternity and Man’s Transitoriness.

A Prayer of ^{▼▼ Deut 33:1}Moses, the man of God.

1 Lord, You have been our ^{▼▼ Or hiding place; some ancient mss read place of refuge
,} ^cdwelling place in all generations.
2 Before ^dthe mountains were born
^{▼▼ Or And}Or You ^fgave birth to the earth and the world,
Even ^gfrom everlasting to everlasting, You are God.

3 You ^hturn man back into dust
And say, “Return, O children of men.”
4 For ⁱa thousand years in Your sight
Are like ^jyesterday when it passes by,
^{▼▼ Or And}Or as a ^lwatch in the night.
5 You ^mhave ^{▼▼ Or flooded}swept them away like a flood, they ^{▼▼ Lit become asleep
,} ^pfall asleep;
In the morning they are like ^qgrass which ^{▼▼ Or passes away}sprouts anew.
6 In the morning it ^sflourishes and ^{▼▼ Or passes away}sprouts anew;
Toward evening it ^ufades and ^vwithers away.

7 For we have been ^wconsumed by Your anger
And by Your wrath we have been ^{▼▼ Or terrified}dismayed.
8 You have ^yplaced our iniquities before You,
Our ^zsecret sins in the light of Your presence.
9 For ^aaall our days have declined in Your fury;
We have finished our years like a ^{▼▼ Or whisper}sigh.
10 As for the days of our ^{▼▼ Lit years}life, ^{▼▼ Lit in them are}they contain seventy years,
Or if due to strength, ^aeeighty years,
Yet their pride is but ^aflabor and sorrow;
For soon it is gone and we ^agfly away.
11 Who ^{▼▼ Or knows}understands the ^aipower of Your anger
And Your fury, according to the ^ajfear ^{▼▼ Lit of You}that is due You?
12 So ^alteach us to number our days,
That we may ^{▼▼ Or gain, bring in
,} ^anpresent to You a heart of wisdom.

13 Do ^aoreturn, O Lord; ^aphow long will it be?
And ^{▼▼ Or repent in regard to}be ^arsorry for Your servants.
14 O ^assatisfy us in the morning with Your lovingkindness,
That we may ^atsing for joy and be glad all our days.
15 ^auMake us glad ^{▼▼ Or as many days as}according to the days You have afflicted us,
And the ^awyears we have seen ^{▼▼ Or trouble}evil.
16 Let Your ^aywork appear to Your servants
And Your ^azmajesty ^{▼▼ Or upon}to their children.
17 Let the ^bbfavor of the Lord our God be upon us;
And ^{▼▼ Or give permanence to
,} ^bdconfirm for us the work of our hands;
Yes, ^{▼▼ Or give permanence to}confirm the work of our hands.
