King James BibleHolman Christian Standard Bible
1A Prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.1A prayer of Moses, the man of God. Lord, You have been our refuge in every generation.
2Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.2Before the mountains were born, before You gave birth to the earth and the world, from eternity to eternity, You are God.
3Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men.3You return mankind to the dust, saying, "Return, descendants of Adam."
4For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.4For in Your sight a thousand years are like yesterday that passes by, like a few hours of the night.
5Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.5You end their lives; they sleep. They are like grass that grows in the morning--
6In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.6in the morning it sprouts and grows; by evening it withers and dries up.
7For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.7For we are consumed by Your anger; we are terrified by Your wrath.
8Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.8You have set our unjust ways before You, our secret sins in the light of Your presence.
9For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told.9For all our days ebb away under Your wrath; we end our years like a sigh.
10The 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.10Our lives last seventy years or, if we are strong, eighty years. Even the best of them are struggle and sorrow; indeed, they pass quickly and we fly away.
11Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath.11Who understands the power of Your anger? Your wrath matches the fear that is due You.
12So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.12Teach us to number our days carefully so that we may develop wisdom in our hearts.
13Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.13 LORD--how long? Turn and have compassion on Your servants.
14O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.14Satisfy us in the morning with Your faithful love so that we may shout with joy and be glad all our days.
15Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil.15Make us rejoice for as many days as You have humbled us, for as many years as we have seen adversity.
16Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children.16Let Your work be seen by Your servants, and Your splendor by their children.
17And 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.17Let the favor of the Lord our God be on us; establish for us the work of our hands-- establish the work of our hands!
