1BOOK IV A Prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, Thou hast been our dwelling-place in all generations.
1Laus cantici David. [Qui habitat in adjutorio Altissimi, in protectione Dei cæli commorabitur.
2Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever Thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, Thou art God.
2Dicet Domino: Susceptor meus es tu, et refugium meum; Deus meus, sperabo in eum.
3Thou turnest man to contrition; and sayest: 'Return, ye children of men.'
3Quoniam ipse liberavit me de laqueo venantium, et a verbo aspero.
4For a thousand years in Thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
4Scapulis suis obumbrabit tibi, et sub pennis ejus sperabis.
5Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep; in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.
5Scuto circumdabit te veritas ejus: non timebis a timore nocturno;
6In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.
6a sagitta volante in die, a negotio perambulante in tenebris, ab incursu, et dæmonio meridiano.
7For we are consumed in Thine anger, and by Thy wrath are we hurried away.
7Cadent a latere tuo mille, et decem millia a dextris tuis; ad te autem non appropinquabit.
8Thou hast set our iniquities before Thee, our secret sins in the light of Thy countenance.
8Verumtamen oculis tuis considerabis, et retributionem peccatorum videbis.
9For all our days are passed away in Thy wrath; we bring our years to an end as a tale that is told.
9Quoniam tu es, Domine, spes mea; Altissimum posuisti refugium tuum.
10The days of our years are threescore years and ten, or even by reason of strength fourscore years; yet is their pride but travail and vanity; for it is speedily gone, and we fly away.
10Non accedet ad te malum, et flagellum non appropinquabit tabernaculo tuo.
11Who knoweth the power of Thine anger, and Thy wrath according to the fear that is due unto Thee?
11Quoniam angelis suis mandavit de te, ut custodiant te in omnibus viis tuis.
12So teach us to number our days, that we may get us a heart of wisdom.
12In manibus portabunt te, ne forte offendas ad lapidem pedem tuum.
13Return, O LORD; how long? And let it repent Thee concerning Thy servants.
13Super aspidem et basiliscum ambulabis, et conculcabis leonem et draconem.
14O satisfy us in the morning with Thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
14Quoniam in me speravit, liberabo eum; protegam eum, quoniam cognovit nomen meum.
15Make us glad according to the days wherein Thou hast afflicted us, according to the years wherein we have seen evil.
15Clamabit ad me, et ego exaudiam eum; cum ipso sum in tribulatione: eripiam eum, et glorificabo eum.
16Let Thy work appear unto Thy servants, and Thy glory upon their children.
16Longitudine dierum replebo eum, et ostendam illi salutare meum.]
17And let the graciousness of the Lord our God be upon us; establish Thou also upon us the work of our hands; yea, the work of our hands establish Thou it.
