BOOK IV.

90 PA Prayer of Moses the-' man-of x=God.
Ya2LORD, Whou shast_been our hdwelling_place in all genera- tions.
2 Before the mountains brought_forth,
Or ever Thou hadst_formed the earth and the lia world,
Even from everlasting to everlast- ing, Thou art ¢-God.
5 Thou turnest «x man to ¢destruc- tion ; .
And sayest, “-Return, yes children_ of « men.”
4 For a thousand years in Thy sight are but as yesterday when it tis_ past,
And as a watch in the night.
5 Thou -carriest_ them _ away _as_
with_a_flood ;
They tare as a sleep :®
In the morning they are like grass which *groweth_up.
® Jn the morning it flourisheth, and *groweth_up ;
In the evening it tis_cut_down, and withereth. ?
7 For we -are_consumed’ by Thine
anger, And by Thy wrath -are_we_ troubled. 8 Thou shast_set our iniquities before Thee, Our secret sins in the_light_of Thy countenance, ° For all our days «are_passed_away in Thy wrath : We -spend our years as a tale that is told. 10 The_days_of our years are three- score years and_ten ; And if by_reason_of strength they be fourscore years, Yet is their strength ‘labour and sorrow ; For it *is.soon cut_off, and we fly_
away. ll Who -knoweth the _ power _ of Thine anger ? Even atcording_to Thy fear, so is Thy wrath. 12 So “teach ws to number our days,
were _
That owe may_apply ow -hearts unto wisdom. 13 “Return, O_! Lorp, how long ? And ‘let_it_repent Thee concerning Thy servants. 14 O _-satisfy us ‘mercy ;
tearly
with Thy/]i.i
That we may-_rejoice and be_glad all our days.
15 “Make _us_ glad according_to the days wherein Thou -hast_afflict- ed us,
And ihe, Yeats wherein we shave_ seen evil.
16*Let Thy work appear unto Thy
‘ servants,
And Thy ‘glory unto their s chil- ren.
en. 7 And let the_beauty_of the «=Lord our =God be upon us: And establish Thou the_work_of our hands upon us; Yea, the_work_of our hands ‘estab- lish Thou it. 91 +HE_that_dwelleth in the_ secret_place_of the Most_High Shall_p abide under the_shadow_of sthe =Almighty. 21 will_say of the Lorp, “He is my refuge and my fortress : My =God ; in Him will_I_trust.” 3 Surely He shall_deliver thee from the_snare_of the fowler, And from the noisome pestilence. 4 He shall_cover thee with His fea-
thers, And under His wings shalt_thou_
trust : His truth shall be thy shield and buckler. 5 Thou shalt not be_afraid for the terror by night ; Nor for the arrow that ‘flieth by_
\ day; 6 Nor for the pestilence that twalketh in ¢xdarkness ; Nor for the destruction that twast- eth at_noonday. 7 A thousand shall_fall at thy side, And ten_thousand at thy right_

92. A Psalm or Song for the Sabbath xday.
17T is a good thing to give_ thanks unto !the Lorp, And to sing_praises unto Thy name, O_Most_High : 2To shew_forth Thy lovingkindness in the morning, And Thy faithfulness ‘every night, 3 Upon an-_instrument _of_ten_ strings, And upon the psaltery ; Upon ithe harp with a_solemn_ sound. 4 For Thou, 7 Lorp, :hast_made_me_ glad through Thy work : I will_striumph in the_works_of Thy hands. 5>O_/Lorp, how great works !

9 For, lo, Thine enemies, O_’ Lorp. For, lo, Thine enemies shall_perish : All the_workers_of iniquity shall_
be_scattered. 19 But my horn shalt_Thou_exalt like the horn of an r unicorn : I -shall_be_anointed with fresh oil. 11 Mine eye also shall_see my desire on mine enemies, And mine ears shall_hear my de-
