Dual Panel1<08605> of Moses <04872> the man <0376> of God <0430>.>> Lord <0136>_, thou hast been our dwelling place <04583> in all <01755> generations <01755>_. {A Prayer...: or, A Prayer, being a Psalm of Moses} {in...: Heb. in generation and generation}
2Before the mountains <02022> were brought forth <03205> (8795)_, or ever thou hadst formed <02342> (8787) the earth <0776> and the world <08398>_, even from everlasting <05769> to <05704> everlasting <05769>_, thou [art] God <0410>_.
3Thou turnest <07725> (8686) man <0582> to destruction <01793>_; and sayest <0559> (8799)_, Return <07725> (8798)_, ye children <01121> of men <0120>_.
4For a thousand <0505> years <08141> in thy sight <05869> [are but] as <03117> yesterday <0865> when it is past <05674> (8799)_, and [as] a watch <0821> in the night <03915>_. {when...: or, when he hath passed them}
5Thou carriest them away as with a flood <02229> (8804)_; they are [as] a sleep <08142>_: in the morning <01242> [they are] like grass <02682> [which] groweth up <02498> (8799)_. {groweth...: or, is changed}
6In the morning <01242> it flourisheth <06692> (8686)_, and groweth up <02498> (8804)_; in the evening <06153> it is cut down <04135> (8787)_, and withereth <03001> (8804)_.
7For we are consumed <03615> (8804) by thine anger <0639>_, and by thy wrath <02534> are we troubled <0926> (8738)_.
8Thou hast set <07896> (8804) our iniquities <05771> before thee, our secret <05956> (8803) [sins] in the light <03974> of thy countenance <06440>_.
9For all our days <03117> are passed away <06437> (8804) in thy wrath <05678>_: we spend <03615> (8765) our years <08141> as a tale <01899> [that is told]. {passed...: Heb. turned away} {as a...: or, as a meditation}
10The days <03117> of our years <08141> [are] threescore <07657> (0) years <08141> and ten <07657>_; and if by reason of strength <01369> [they be] fourscore <08084> years <08141>_, yet [is] their strength <07296> labour <05999> and sorrow <0205>_; for it is soon <02440> cut off <01468> (8804)_, and we fly away <05774> (8799)_. {The days...: Heb. As for the days of our years, in them are seventy years}
11Who knoweth <03045> (8802) the power <05797> of thine anger <0639>_? even according to thy fear <03374>_, [so is] thy wrath <05678>_.
12So teach <03045> (8685) [us] to number <04487> (8800) our days <03117>_, that we may apply <0935> (8686) [our] hearts <03824> unto wisdom <02451>_. {apply: Heb. cause to come}
13Return <07725> (8798)_, O LORD <03068>_, how long? and let it repent <05162> (8734) thee concerning thy servants <05650>_.
14O satisfy <07646> (8761) us early <01242> with thy mercy <02617>_; that we may rejoice <07442> (8762) and be glad <08055> (8799) all our days <03117>_.
15Make us glad <08055> (8761) according to the days <03117> [wherein] thou hast afflicted <06031> (8765) us, [and] the years <08141> [wherein] we have seen <07200> (8804) evil <07451>_.
16Let thy work <06467> appear <07200> (8735) unto thy servants <05650>_, and thy glory <01926> unto their children <01121>_.
17And let the beauty <05278> of the LORD <03068> our God <0430> be upon us: and establish <03559> (8786) thou the work <04639> of our hands <03027> upon us; yea, the work <04639> of our hands <03027> establish <03559> (8786) thou it.
