1“BOOK IV. A prayer of Moses, the man of God.” LORD! thou hast been our dwelling-place In all generations!
2Before the mountains were brought forth, Or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting thou art God!
3But man thou turnest again to dust, And sayst, “Return, ye children of men!”
4For a thousand years are, in thy sight, As yesterday when it is past, And as a watch in the night.
5Thou carriest him away as with a flood; He is a dream; In the morning he springeth up like grass,
6Which flourisheth and shooteth up in the morning, And in the evening is cut down, and withered.
7For we are consumed by thine anger, And by thy wrath are we destroyed.
8Thou settest our iniquities before thee, Our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.
