1 {SCROLL FOUR{ {A Prayer, For Moses, the Man of the One, Elohim{ O Yahweh, You Yourself have become our Habitation in generation after generation;"
2 Ere the mountains were born, And You travailed with the earth and the habitance, From eon unto eon You are El."
3 You can turn a mortal back to crushed dust And say, Return, O sons of humanity."
4 For a thousand years are in Your eyes Like yesterday's day when it has passed, Or like a vigil in the night."
5 You storm them away to sleep; They become like the grass in the morning that passes by;
6 In the morning it blossoms, but it passes by; By evening it is snipped off and has dried up."
7 For we are consumed by Your anger, And by Your fury are we filled with panic."
8 You have set our depravities in front of You, Our obscured deeds in the full light of Your face."
9 Indeed all our days turn around before Your rage; We finish our years like a mumble.
10 The days of our years, in them are seventy years, And if by mastery there are eighty years, Yet even in their heyday is toil and sorrow, For it is sheared off hurriedly, and we fly away."
11 Who is knowing the strength of Your anger And Your rage, according to the fear due to You?
12 So make us know how to assign our days, That we may come to a heart of wisdom."
13 Do turn back, O Yahweh! How long? Show Yourself merciful over Your servants."
14 Satisfy us in the morning with Your benignity, That we may be jubilant and rejoice through all our days."
15 Make us rejoice according to the days You humbled us, The years we have seen evil."
16 May Your deeds be seen by Your servants, And Your honor by their sons."
17 Let the pleasantness of Yahweh our Elohim be over us; Do establish the work of our hands for us; Yea, the work of our hands, do establish it."
