 NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 1 A Prayer of Moses, the man of God. Lord, You have been our dwelling place in all generations. | 1 Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. | 1 [A prayer by Moses, the man of God.] O Lord, you have been our refuge throughout every generation. | 1 Lord, you have been our dwelling place for all generations. | 1 {A Prayer of Moses, the man of God.} Lord, thou hast been our dwelling-place in all generations. | 2 Before the mountains were born Or You gave birth to the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God. | 2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. | 2 Before the mountains were born, before you gave birth to the earth and the world, you were God. You are God from everlasting to everlasting. | 2 Before the mountains were brought forth, before you had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God. | 2 Before the mountains were brought forth, and thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from eternity to eternity thou art �God. | 3 You turn man back into dust And say, "Return, O children of men." | 3 Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men. | 3 You turn mortals back into dust and say, "Return, descendants of Adam." | 3 You turn man to destruction, saying, "Return, you children of men." | 3 Thou makest mortal man to return to dust, and sayest, Return, children of men. | 4 For a thousand years in Your sight Are like yesterday when it passes by, Or as a watch in the night. | 4 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night. | 4 Indeed, in your sight a thousand years are like a single day, like yesterday-already past- like an hour in the night. | 4 For a thousand years in your sight are just like yesterday when it is past, like a watch in the night. | 4 For a thousand years, in thy sight, are as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night. | 5 You have swept them away like a flood, they fall asleep; In the morning they are like grass which sprouts anew. | 5 Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up. | 5 You sweep mortals away. They are a dream. They sprout again in the morning like cut grass. | 5 You sweep them away as they sleep. In the morning they sprout like new grass. | 5 Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass that groweth up: | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 6 In the morning it flourishes and sprouts anew; Toward evening it fades and withers away. | 6 In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth. | 6 In the morning they blossom and sprout. In the evening they wither and dry up. | 6 In the morning it sprouts and springs up. By evening, it is withered and dry. | 6 In the morning it flourisheth and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down and withereth. | 7 For we have been consumed by Your anger And by Your wrath we have been dismayed. | 7 For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled. | 7 Indeed, your anger consumes us. Your rage terrifies us. | 7 For we are consumed in your anger. We are troubled in your wrath. | 7 For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy fury are we troubled. | 8 You have placed our iniquities before You, Our secret sins in the light of Your presence. | 8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance. | 8 You have set our sins in front of you. You have put our secret sins in the light of your presence. | 8 You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence. | 8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance. | 9 For all our days have declined in Your fury; We have finished our years like a sigh. | 9 For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told. | 9 Indeed, all our days slip away because of your fury. We live out our years like one [long] sigh. | 9 For all our days have passed away in your wrath. We bring our years to an end as a sigh. | 9 For all our days pass away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a passing thought. | 10 As for the days of our life, they contain seventy years, Or if due to strength, eighty years, Yet their pride is but labor and sorrow; For soon it is gone and we fly away. | 10 The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. | 10 Each of us lives for 70 years- or even 80 if we are in good health. But the best of them [bring] trouble and misery. Indeed, they are soon gone, and we fly away. | 10 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. | 10 The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if, by reason of strength, they be fourscore years, yet their pride is labour and vanity, for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 11 Who understands the power of Your anger And Your fury, according to the fear that is due You? | 11 Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath. | 11 Who fully understands the power of your anger? A person fears you more when he better understands your fury. | 11 Who knows the power of your anger, your wrath according to the fear that is due to you? | 11 Who knoweth the power of thine anger? and thy wrath according to the fear of thee? | 12 So teach us to number our days, That we may present to You a heart of wisdom. | 12 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. | 12 Teach us to number each of our days so that we may grow in wisdom. | 12 So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. | 12 So teach us to number our days, that we may acquire a wise heart. | 13 Do return, O LORD; how long will it be? And be sorry for Your servants. | 13 Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants. | 13 Return, LORD! How long...? Change your plans about [us,] your servants. | 13 Relent, Yahweh! How long? Have compassion on your servants! | 13 Return, Jehovah: how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants. | 14 O satisfy us in the morning with Your lovingkindness, That we may sing for joy and be glad all our days. | 14 O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. | 14 Satisfy us every morning with your mercy so that we may sing joyfully and rejoice all our days. | 14 Satisfy us in the morning with your loving kindness, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. | 14 Satisfy us early with thy loving-kindness; that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days. | 15 Make us glad according to the days You have afflicted us, And the years we have seen evil. | 15 Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil. | 15 Make us rejoice for as many days as you have made us suffer, for as many years as we have experienced evil. | 15 Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen evil. | 15 Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, according to the years wherein we have seen evil. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 16 Let Your work appear to Your servants And Your majesty to their children. | 16 Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children. | 16 Let [us,] your servants, see what you can do. Let our children see your glorious power. | 16 Let your work appear to your servants; your glory to their children. | 16 Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy majesty unto their sons. | 17 Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us; And confirm for us the work of our hands; Yes, confirm the work of our hands. | 17 And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it. | 17 Let the kindness of the Lord our God be with us. Make us successful in everything we do. Yes, make us successful in everything we do. | 17 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. | 17 And let the beauty of Jehovah our God be upon us; and establish thou the work of our hands upon us: yea, the work of our hands, establish thou it. |
