I. The Eternal God and Mortal Man v. 1-11
I. The Eternal God and Mortal Man v. 1-11
(ESV)
A Prayer of Moses, the man of God.
1 Lord, you have been our dwelling place in all generations.
2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
3 You return man to dust
and say, “Return, O children of man!”
4 For a thousand years in your sight are but as yesterday when it is past, or as a watch in the night.
By the sweat of your face
you shall eat bread,
till you return to the ground,
for out of it you were taken;
for you are dust,
and to dust you shall return.”
But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
5 You sweep them away as with a flood;
they are like a dream,
like grass that is renewed in the morning:
6 in the morning it flourishes
and is renewed;
in the evening it fades and withers.
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.
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 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?
Our lives are short
Our lives are short
They are short because of sin
They are short because of sin
II. Plea for God’s Favor v. 12-17
II. Plea for God’s Favor v. 12-17
12 So teach us to number our days
that we may get a heart of wisdom.
13 Return, O Lord!
How long?
Have pity on your servants!
14 Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love,
that we may rejoice
and be glad all our days.
15 Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, and for as many years as we have seen evil.
16 Let your work be shown to your servants, and your glorious power to their children.
17 Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us,
and establish the work of our hands upon us;
yes, establish the work of our hands!
Your life on earth is not forever
Your life on earth is not forever
Live in light of eternity
Live in light of eternity
