BOOK 4
A Prayer by Moses, the man of God. 1
Lord, 2 you have been our dwelling place for all generations. Deu 33:271Jn 4:16Psa 71:3Ezk 11:16Psa 91:1Psa 91:9Exo 33:14-19Jhn 6:56
Before the mountains were born, Heb 13:8Gen 1:1Psa 102:24-27Rev 1:8Psa 93:21Ti 6:15-16Heb 1:10-12Psa 33:9
before you had formed the earth and the world,
even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.
You turn man to destruction, saying, Gen 3:19Ecc 12:7Job 34:14-15Num 14:35Psa 104:29Psa 146:4Gen 6:6-7Job 12:10
“Return, you children of men.”
For a thousand years in your sight are just like yesterday when it is past, 2Pe 3:8Psa 39:5Mat 24:43Luk 12:38Mat 14:25Exo 14:24Jdg 7:19
like a watch in the night.
You sweep them away as they sleep. Isa 40:61Pe 1:24Job 22:16Psa 103:15-16Psa 73:20Job 27:20-21Isa 29:7-8Isa 8:7-8
In the morning they sprout like new grass.
In the morning it sprouts and springs up. Job 14:2Psa 92:7Jas 1:11Mat 6:30
By evening, it is withered and dry.
For we are consumed in your anger. Psa 39:11Deu 2:14-16Exo 14:24Heb 3:10-11Heb 3:17Num 17:12-13Psa 59:13Psa 90:11
We are troubled in your wrath.
You have set our iniquities before you, Jer 16:17Ecc 12:14Heb 4:12-13Jer 23:24Psa 19:121Jn 3:20Jer 9:13-16Psa 10:11
our secret sins in the light of your presence.
For all our days have passed away in your wrath. Psa 78:33Psa 39:5Psa 90:4
We bring our years to an end as a sigh.
The days of our years are seventy, Jas 4:14Psa 78:392Sa 19:35Deu 34:7Gen 47:91Ki 1:1Job 14:10Job 24:24
or even by reason of strength eighty years;
yet their pride is but labor and sorrow,
for it passes quickly, and we fly away.
Who knows the power of your anger, Isa 33:14Lev 26:24Nam 1:62Co 5:11Deu 28:59Deu 29:20-29Lev 26:18Lev 26:21
your wrath according to the fear that is due to you?
So teach us to count our days, Eph 5:16-17Psa 39:4Jhn 9:4Deu 32:29Pro 4:7Pro 3:13-18Pro 16:16Pro 23:12
that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
Relent, LORD! 3 Deu 32:36Psa 106:45Psa 135:14Psa 80:14Amo 7:3Amo 7:6Hos 11:8Jol 2:13-14
How long?
Have compassion on your servants!
Satisfy us in the morning with your loving kindness, Psa 23:6Psa 85:6Psa 31:7Psa 86:4Psa 103:3-5Php 4:4Psa 149:2Psa 36:7-8
that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, Psa 126:5-6Psa 30:5Isa 40:1-2Jhn 16:20Isa 12:1Jer 31:12-13Isa 61:3Isa 65:18-19
for as many years as we have seen evil.
Let your work appear to your servants, Hab 3:2Psa 44:1Deu 32:4Deu 1:39Num 14:15-24Jos 23:14Jos 4:22-24Num 14:30-31
your glory to their children.
Let the favor of the Lord our God be on us. Pro 16:31Co 3:72Th 2:16Job 22:28Isa 26:12Psa 118:25Psa 68:28Psa 80:3
Establish the work of our hands for us.
Yes, establish the work of our hands.
