- 0. [A prayer of Moyses the man of God.]
- 1. Lorde thou hast ben our habitation: from one generation to another generation.
- 2. Before the moutaynes were brought foorth, or euer the earth & the worlde were made: thou art God both from euerlastyng, and also vntyll euerlastyng.
- 3. Thou turnest man most miserable euen vnto dust: thou sayest also, O ye children of men returne you into dust.
- 4. For a thousande yeres in thy syght are but as yestarday that is past: and as a watch in the nyght.
- 5. Thou makest them to flowe away, they are a sleepe: they be in the morning as an hearbe that groweth.
- 6. In the mornyng it florisheth and groweth vp: in the euenyng it is cut downe and wythered.
- 7. For we be consumed through thy displeasure: and we are astonyed through thy wrathfull indignation.
- 8. Thou hast set our misdeedes before thee: and our sinnes wherof we be not priuie, in the lyght of thy countenaunce.
- 9. For all our dayes do passe in thine anger: we spende our yeres as [in speaking] a worde.
- 10. The dayes of our yeres be in all threescore yeres and tenne, and yf through strength [of nature] men come to foure score yeres: yet is their iolitie but labour and care, yea moreouer it passeth in haste from vs, and we flee from it.
- 11. Who regardeth the force of thy wrath? for euen there after as a man feareth thee, so [feeleth he] thy displeasure.
- 12. Make vs to knowe so our dayes, that we number them: and we wyll frame a heart [vnto] wisdome.
- 13. Turne agayne O God (what, for euer [wylt thou be angry?]) and be gratious vnto thy seruauntes.
- 14. Replenishe vs early in the mornyng with thy mercie: and we wyll crye out for ioy, and be glad all the dayes of our lyfe.
- 15. Make vs mery accordyng to the dayes that thou hast afflicted vs: and accordyng to the yeres wherin we haue suffred aduersitie.
- 16. Let thy worke appeare in thy seruauntes: and thy glory in their children.
- 17. And let the glorious maiestie of the Lorde our God be vpon vs: and prosper thou the worke of our handes vpon vs, O prosper thou our handy worke.
