From Everlasting to Everlasting

1 A Prayer of Moses, the man of God. Lord, you have been our dwelling place^[1] in all generations. (De 33:1; Jos 14:6; Ezr 3:2; Ps 17:1; Ps 55:1; Ps 71:3)

2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God. (De 33:15; Job 15:7; Job 36:26; Pr 8:25)

De 33:15Job 15:7Job 36:26Pr 8:25

3 You return man to dust and say, “Return, O children of man!”^[2] (Ge 3:19; Ec 12:7) 4 For a thousand years in your sight are but as yesterday when it is past, or as a watch in the night. (Ex 14:24; Jud 7:19; Ps 39:5; 2Pe 3:8)

Ex 14:24Jud 7:19Ps 39:52Pe 3:8

5 You sweep them away as with a flood; they are like a dream, like grass that is renewed in the morning: (2Ki 19:26; Job 20:8; Ps 37:2; Ps 58:9; Ps 103:15; Isa 40:6; 1Pe 1:24)

7 For we are brought to an end by your anger; by your wrath we are dismayed. 8 You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence. (Ps 19:12; Jer 16:17; Heb 4:13) 9 For all our days pass away under your wrath; we bring our years to an end like a sigh. 10 The years of our life are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty; yet their span^[3] is but toil and trouble; they are soon gone, and we fly away. 11 Who considers the power of your anger, and your wrath according to the fear of you? 12 So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom. (Ps 39:4) 13 Return, O Lord! How long? Have pity on your servants! (Ge 6:6; Ex 32:12; De 32:36; Jud 2:18; Ps 6:4; Ps 74:9; Ps 106:45; Ps 135:14; Jon 3:10)

14 Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. (Ps 46:5; Ps 85:6) 15 Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, and for as many years as we have seen evil. (De 8:2) 16 Let your work be shown to your servants, and your glorious power to their children. (De 32:4; Ps 77:12; Ps 92:4; Ps 95:9; Hab 3:2)

صَلاةٌ لِمُوسَى رَجُلِ اللهِ

1 يَا رَبُّ أَنْتَ كُنْتَ مَلْجَأً لَنَا نَلُوذُ بِهِ جِيلاً بَعْدَ جِيلٍ. 2 قَبْلَ أَنْ أَوْجَدْتَ الْجِبَالَ أَوْ كَوَّنْتَ الْمَسْكُونَةَ، أَنْتَ اللهُ مِنَ الأَزَلِ وَإِلَى الأَبَدِ. 3 تُعِيدُ الإِنْسَانَ إِلَى التُّرَابِ قَائِلاً: عُودُوا إِلَيْهِ يَا بَنِي آدَمَ. 4 فَإِنَّ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ فِي عَيْنَيْكَ كَيَوْمِ أَمْسِ الْعَابِرِ، أَوْ مِثْلُ هَزِيعٍ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ. 5 تَجْرُفُ الْبَشَرَ كَمَا يَجْرُفُهُمُ الطُّوفَانُ، فَيَزُولُونَ كَالْحُلْمِ عِنْدَ الصَّبَاحِ مِثْلَ الْعُشْبِ الَّذِي يَنْمُو. 6 يُزْهِرُ فِي الصَّبَاحِ وَيَنْمُو، وَفِي الْمَسَاءِ يُقْطَعُ وَيَجِفُّ. 7 إِنَّ غَضَبَكَ قَدْ أَفْنَانَا وَسَخَطَكَ قَدْ رَوَّعَنَا. 8 جَعَلْتَ آثَامَنَا أَمَامَكَ وَخَطَايَانَا الْخَفِيَّةَ ظَاهِرَةً لَدَيْكَ. 9 لأَنَّ أَيَّامَنَا كُلَّهَا تَنْقَضِي فِي غَضَبِكَ الشَّدِيدِ، وَأَعْوَامَنَا تَتَلاشَى كَزَفْرَةٍ. 10 قَدْ نَعِيشُ سَبْعِينَ سَنَةً، وَإِنْ كُنَّا ذَوِي عَافِيَةٍ فَثَمَانينَ وَأَفْضَلُ أَيَّامِنَا تَعَبٌ وَبَلِيَّةٌ، لأَنَّهَا سَرْعَانَ مَا تَزُولُ فَنَطِيرُ. 11 مَنْ يَعْرِفُ شِدَّةَ غَضَبِكَ؟ إِنَّ سَخَطَكَ هُوَ بِحَسَبِ مَهَابَتِكَ؟ 12 عَلِّمْنَا إِحْصَاءَ أَيَّامِنَا، لَعَلَّنَا نَتَعَقَّلُ بِقَلْبٍ حَكِيمٍ. 13 إِلَى مَتَى يَطُولُ يَا رَبُّ غَضَبُكَ؟ ارْجِعْ وَتَعَطَّفْ عَلَى عَبِيدِكَ. 14 أَفِضْ عَلَيْنَا بَاكِراً مِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ، فَنَتَرَنَّمَ فَرَحاً وَنَبْتَهِجَ طَوَالَ أَعْمَارِنَا. 15 فَرِّحْنَا بِمِقْدَارِ الأَيَّامِ الَّتِي بَلَيْتَنَا بِها، وَبِمِقْدَارِ السِّنِينَ الَّتِي رَأَيْنَا فِيهَا الْمَصَائِبَ 16 لِيَظْهَرْ صَنِيعُكَ أَمَامَ عَبِيدِكَ وَجَلالُكَ أَمَامَ أَبْنَائِهِمْ. 17 وَلْتَكُنْ نِعْمَةُ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا عَلَيْنَا. أَنْجِحْ عَمَلَ أَيْدِينَا، نَعَمْ أَنْجِحْ لَنَا عَمَلَ أَيْدِينَا.
