1 (89-1) A Prayer of Moses the man of God.
2 (89-2) O Lord! You are our refuge from generation to generation.
3 (89-3) Before the mountains were born, and you formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art - God.
4 (89-4) Thou Refundable in corruption and say, `Return, O children of men! '
5 (89-5) For in your sight a thousand years are but as yesterday when it is past, and [how] a watch in the night.
6 (89-6) Thou [like] a flood carries away them; They - [like] a dream, like grass which grows in the morning, the morning of flowers and greens in the evening it is cut down and withers;

7 (89-7) For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.
8 (89-8) Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, and our secret before the light of thy countenance.
9 (89-9) All our days are passed away in thy wrath; we spend our years as a sound.
10 (89-10) days of our years - seventy years, and by reason of strength - eighty years; and the best time to them - labor and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
eleven (89-11) Who knoweth the power of thine anger and thy wrath according to the fear of Thy?

12 (89-12) So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
13 (89-13) Return, O Lord! How long? Compassion upon thy servants.
14 (89-14) satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
15 (89-15) Make us glad according to the days [in which] thou hast afflicted us, and the years [in which] we have seen evil.
16 (89-16) so as to be on thy servants thy work, and on the sons of thy glory;
17 (89-17), and let him be Lord our God be upon us, and in our hands establish thou to us, in our hands establish thou it.
