¹ [(0)] A prayer of Moshe the man of God: [(1)] Adonai, you have been our dwelling place in every generation.

² Before the mountains were born, before you had formed the earth and the world, from eternity past to eternity future you are God.

³ You bring frail mortals to the point of being crushed, then say, “People, repent!”

⁴ For from your viewpoint a thousand years are merely like yesterday or a night watch.

⁵ When you sweep them away, they become like sleep; by morning they are like growing grass,

⁶ growing and flowering in the morning, but by evening cut down and dried up.

⁷ For we are destroyed by your anger, overwhelmed by your wrath.

⁸ You have placed our faults before you, our secret sins in the full light of your presence.

⁹ All our days ebb away under your wrath; our years die away like a sigh.

¹⁰ The span of our life is seventy years, or if we are strong, eighty; yet at best it is toil and sorrow, over in a moment, and then we are gone.

¹¹ Who grasps the power of your anger and wrath to the degree that the fear due you should inspire?

¹² So teach us to count our days, so that we will become wise.

¹³ Return, ADONAI! How long must it go on? Take pity on your servants!

¹⁴ Fill us at daybreak with your love, so that we can sing for joy as long as we live.

¹⁵ Let our joy last as long as the time you made us suffer, for as many years as we experienced trouble.

¹⁶ Show your deeds to your servants and your glory to their children.

¹⁷ May the favor of Adonai our God be on us, prosper for us all the work that we do — yes, prosper the work that we do.
