KING JAMES VERSION (KJV)


1  (A Prayer of Moses the man of God.) Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.

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.

5  Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.

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.

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.

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.

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.

1  A prayer of Moses the man of God. 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  For a thousand yeeres in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past: and as a watch in the night.

5  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  For all our dayes are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our yeeres as a tale that is told.

10  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  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.
