1The prayer of Moses, the man of God. Lord, thou art made help to us; from generation into generation.
2Before that hills were made, either the earth and the world was formed; from the world and into the world, thou art God.
3Turn thou not away a man into lowness; and thou saidest, Ye sons of men, be turned again.
4For a thousand years be before thine eyes; as yesterday, which is passed, and as the keeping in the night.
5The years of them shall be; that be had for nought. Early pass he, as an herb,
6early flourish he, and pass; in the eventide fall he down, be he hard, and wax he dry.
7For we have failed in thine ire; and we be troubled in thy strong vengeance.
