The eternity of God, the frailty of man

«A Prayer of Moses, the man of God.» Lord, you have been our resting-place in all generations. A Prayer by Moses, the man of God. Lord, you have been our dwelling place for all generations.
Before the mountains were made, before you had given birth to the earth and the world, before time was, and for ever, you are God. Before the mountains were brought forth, before you had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.
You send man back to his dust; and say, Go back, you children of men. You turn man to destruction, saying, “Return, you children of men.”
For to you a thousand years are no more than yesterday when it is past, and like a watch in the night. For a thousand years in your sight are just like yesterday when it is past, like a watch in the night.
... You sweep them away as they sleep. In the morning they sprout like new grass.
In the morning it is green; in the evening it is cut down, and becomes dry. In the morning it sprouts and springs up. By evening, it is withered and dry.

Submission to holy punishments for good

We are burned up by the heat of your passion, and troubled by your wrath. For we are consumed in your anger. We are troubled in your wrath.
You have put our evil doings before you, our secret sins in the light of your face. You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence.
For all our days have gone by in your wrath; our years come to an end like a breath. For all our days have passed away in your wrath. We bring our years to an end as a sigh.
The measure of our life is seventy years; and if through strength it may be eighty years, its pride is only trouble and sorrow, for it comes to an end and we are quickly gone. The days of our years are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty years; yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, for it passes quickly, and we fly away.
Who has knowledge of the power of your wrath, or who takes note of the weight of your passion? Who knows the power of your anger, your wrath according to the fear that is due to you?

Prayer for mercy and mercy and favour

So give us knowledge of the number of our days, that we may get a heart of wisdom. So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
Come back, O Lord; how long? let your purpose for your servants be changed. Relent, Yahweh! How long? Have compassion on your servants!
In the morning give us your mercy in full measure; so that we may have joy and delight all our days. Satisfy us in the morning with your loving kindness, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
Make us glad in reward for the days of our sorrow, and for the years in which we have seen evil. Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen evil.
Make your work clear to your servants, and your glory to their children. Let your work appear to your servants; your glory to their children.
Let the pleasure of the Lord our God be on us: O Lord, give strength to the work of our hands. Let the favor of the Lord our God be on us; establish the work of our hands for us; yes, establish the work of our hands.
