¶ [fn]A prayer of Moses the man of God.

XC ¶ LORD, thou hast bene our dwelling place in all generations. 2 Before the mountaines were broughtforth, or euer thou hadst formed the earth and the world: euen from euerlasting to euerlasting thou art God. 3 Thou turnest man to destruction: and sayest, Returne yee children of men. 4 [ref][fn]For a thousand yeeres in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past: and as a watch in the night. 5 [fn]Thou carriest them away as with a flood, they are as a sleepe: in the morning they are like grasse which groweth vp. 6 In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth vp: in the euening it is cut downe, 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 sinnes in the light of thy countenance. 9 [fn][fn]For all our dayes are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our yeeres as a tale that is told. 10 [fn]The dayes of our yeres are threescore yeeres and ten, and if by reason of strength they be fourescore yeeres, yet is their strength labour and sorrow: for it is soone cut off, and we flie away. 11 Who knoweth the power of thine anger? euen according to thy feare, so is thy wrath. 12 [fn]So teach vs to number our daies: that wee may apply our hearts vnto wisedome. 13 Returne (O LORD) how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy seruants. 14 O satisfie vs early with thy mercie: that we may reioyce, and be glad all our dayes. 15 Make vs glad according to the dayes wherein thou hast afflicted vs: and the yeeres wherein we haue seene euil. 16 Let thy worke appeare vnto thy seruants: and thy glory vnto their children. 17 And let the beautie of the LORD our God be vpon vs, and establish thou the worke of our hands vpon vs: yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.
