¹A prayer of Moses the man of God. ²Before the mountains were born ³You return man to dust, ⁴For in Your sight a thousand years ⁵You sweep them away in their sleep; ⁶in the morning it springs up new, ⁷For we are consumed by Your anger ⁸You have set our iniquities before You, ⁹For all our days decline in Your fury; ¹⁰The length of our days is seventy years — ¹¹Who knows the power of Your anger? ¹²So teach us to number our days, ¹³Return, O LORD! How long will it be? ¹⁴Satisfy us in the morning with Your loving devotion, ¹⁵Make us glad for as many days as You have afflicted us, ¹⁶May Your work be shown to Your servants, ¹⁷May the favor of the Lord our God rest upon us;
