CHAP. XC.

1 Moses setting foorth Gods prouidence, 3 complaineth, of humane fragility, 7 diuine chastisements, 10 and breuity of life. 12 He prayeth for the knowledge and sencible experience of Gods good prouidence.

¹ [A prayer of Moses the man of God.] Lord, thou hast bene our dwelling place in all generations.¹

² Before the mountaines were broughtforth, or euer thou hadst formed the earth and the world: euen from euerlasting to euerlasting thou art God.

³ Thou turnest man to destruction: and sayest, Returne yee children of men.

⁴ For a thousand yeeres in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past: and as a watch in the night.⁴

⁵ Thou carriest them away as with a flood, they are as a sleepe: in the morning they are like grasse which groweth vp.⁵

⁶ In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth vp: in the euening it is cut downe, and withereth.

⁷ For we are consumed by thine anger: and by thy wrath are we troubled.

⁸ Thou hast set our iniquities before thee: our secret sinnes in the light of thy countenance.

⁹ For all our dayes are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our yeeres as a tale that is told.⁹

¹⁰ The dayes of our yeres are threescore yeeres and ten, and if by reason of strength they be fourescore yeeres, yet is their strength labour and sorrow: for it is soone cut off, and we flie away.¹⁰

¹¹ Who knoweth the power of thine anger? euen according to thy feare, so is thy wrath.

¹² So teach vs to number our daies: that wee may apply our hearts vnto wisedome.¹²

¹³ Returne (O Lord) how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy seruants.

¹⁴ O satisfie vs early with thy mercie: that we may reioyce, and be glad all our dayes.

¹⁵ Make vs glad according to the dayes wherein thou hast afflicted vs: and the yeeres wherein we haue seene euil.

¹⁶ Let thy worke appeare vnto thy seruants: and thy glory vnto their children.

¹⁷ And let the beautie of the Lord our God be vpon vs, and establish thou the worke of our hands vpon vs: yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.
