Jesus’ Teaching on Prayer^(A)(B)

11 One day Jesus was praying^(C) in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord,^(D) teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”

BOOK IV

Psalms 90–106

Psalm 90

A prayer of Moses the man of God.

³ “Do not harm^(A) the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads^(B) of the servants of our God.”

¹⁵ At that time Tyre^(A) will be forgotten for seventy years,^(B) the span of a king’s life. But at the end of these seventy years, it will happen to Tyre as in the song of the prostitute:

³² When one of them dies and falls on something, that article, whatever its use, will be unclean, whether it is made of wood, cloth, hide or sackcloth.^(A) Put it in water; it will be unclean till evening, and then it will be clean.

²³ All their days their work is grief and pain;^(A) even at night their minds do not rest.^(B) This too is meaningless.
