- 0:02Speaker 1: Psalm ninety, a prayer by Moses, the man of God. Lord,
- 0:07Speaker 1: you have been our dwelling place for all generations, before
- 0:11Speaker 1: the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed
- 0:14Speaker 1: the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting.
- 0:18Speaker 1: You are God. You turn man to destruction, saying return
- 0:22Speaker 1: you children of men, for a thousand years in your
- 0:25Speaker 1: sight are but as yesterday, when it is pasted as
- 0:27Speaker 1: a watch. In the night, you sweep them away as
- 0:30Speaker 1: they sleep. In the morning they sprout like new grass.
- 0:34Speaker 1: In the morning it sprouts and springs up. By evening
- 0:37Speaker 1: it is withered and dry. For we are consumed in
- 0:40Speaker 1: your anger. We are troubled in your wrath. You have
- 0:43Speaker 1: set our iniquities before you, our secret sins, in the
- 0:46Speaker 1: light of your presence. For all our days have passed
- 0:49Speaker 1: away in your wrath. We bring our years to an
- 0:52Speaker 1: end as a sigh. The days of our years are seventy,
- 0:56Speaker 1: are even by reason of strength, eighty years. Yet their
- 0:59Speaker 1: pride is but labor and sorrow, for it passes quickly,
- 1:03Speaker 1: and we fly away. Who knows the power of your anger,
- 1:07Speaker 1: your wrath? According to the fear that is due you,
- 1:10Speaker 1: So teach us to number our days, that we may
- 1:12Speaker 1: gain a heart of wisdom relent. Yea Ahweh, how long
- 1:17Speaker 1: have compassion on your servants. Satisfy us in the morning
- 1:21Speaker 1: with your loving kindness, that we may rejoice and be
- 1:24Speaker 1: glad all our days. Make us glad for as many
- 1:27Speaker 1: days as you have afflicted us, for as many years
- 1:30Speaker 1: as we have seen evil. Let your work appear to
- 1:33Speaker 1: your servants, your glory to their children. Let the favor
- 1:37Speaker 1: of the Lord, our God be on us. Establish the
- 1:40Speaker 1: work of our hands. For us, yes, establish the work
- 1:43Speaker 1: of our hands.
