| # Chapter 89
#### 1 | A prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, thou hast been our refuge from generation to generation.
#### 2 | Before the mountains were made, or the earth and the world was formed; from eternity and to eternity thou art God.
#### 3 | Turn not man away to be brought low: and thou hast said: Be converted, O ye sons of men.
#### 4 | For a thousand years in thy sight are as yesterday, which is past. And as a watch in the night,
#### 5 | things that are counted nothing, shall their years be.
#### 6 | In the morning man shall grow up like grass; in the morning he shall flourish and pass away: in the evening he shall fall, grow dry, and wither.
#### 7 | For in thy wrath we have fainted away: and are troubled in thy indignation.
#### 8 | Thou hast set our iniquities before thy eyes: our life in the light of thy countenance.
#### 9 | For all our days are spent; and in thy wrath we have fainted away. Our years shall be considered spider:
#### 10 | the days of our years in them are threescore and ten years. But if in the strong they be fourscore years: and what is more of them is labour and sorrow. For mildness is come upon us: and we shall be corrected.
#### 11 | Who knoweth the power of thy anger, and for thy fear
#### 12 | can number thy wrath? So make thy right hand known: and men learned in heart, in wisdom.
#### 13 | Return, O Lord, how long? and be entreated in favour of thy servants.
#### 14 | We are filled in the morning with thy mercy: and we have rejoiced, and are delighted all our days.
#### 15 | We have rejoiced for the days in which thou hast humbled us: for the years in which we have seen evils.
#### 16 | Look upon thy servants and upon their works: and direct their children.
#### 17 | And let the brightness of the Lord our God be upon us: and direct thou the works of our hands over us; yea, the work of our hands do thou direct.
