God

Till when, O Jehovah, art Thou hidden? For ever doth Thy fury burn as fire?

Remember, I pray Thee, what is life-time? Wherefore in vain hast Thou created All the sons of men?

Where are Thy former kindnesses, O Lord. Thou hast sworn to David in Thy faithfulness,

Remember, O Lord, the reproach of Thy servants, I have borne in my bosom all the strivings of the peoples,

Wherewith Thine enemies reproached, O Jehovah, Wherewith they have reproached The steps of Thine anointed.

Blessed is Jehovah to the age. Amen, and amen!

A Prayer of Moses, the man of God. Lord, a habitation Thou--Thou hast been, To us--in generation and generation,

Before mountains were brought forth, And Thou dost form the earth and the world, Even from age unto age Thou art God.

For a thousand years in Thine eyes are as yesterday, For it passeth on, yea, a watch by night.

For we were consumed in Thine anger, And in Thy fury we have been troubled.

Thou hast set our iniquities before Thee, Our hidden things at the light of Thy face,

For all our days pined away in Thy wrath, We consumed our years as a meditation.

Who knoweth the power of Thine anger? And according to Thy fear--Thy wrath?

Turn back, O Jehovah, till when? And repent concerning Thy servants.

Satisfy us at morn with Thy kindness, And we sing and rejoice all our days.

Cause us to rejoice according to the days Wherein Thou hast afflicted us, The years we have seen evil.

Let Thy work appear unto Thy servants, And Thine honour on their sons.

And let the pleasantness of Jehovah our God be upon us, And the work of our hands establish on us, Yea, the work of our hands establish it!

He who is dwelling In the secret place of the Most High, In the shade of the Mighty lodgeth habitually,

He is saying of Jehovah, `My refuge, and my bulwark, my God, I trust in Him,'

For He delivereth thee from the snare of a fowler, From a calamitous pestilence.

With His pinion He covereth thee over, And under His wings thou dost trust, A shield and buckler is His truth.

(For Thou, O Jehovah, art my refuge,) The Most High thou madest thy habitation.

For His messengers He chargeth for thee, To keep thee in all thy ways,

Because in Me he hath delighted, I also deliver him--I set him on high, Because he hath known My name.
