BOOK 4
From Everlasting to Everlasting, You Are God
A Prayer of [a]Moses, the man of God.
90 Lord, You have been our [b](A)dwelling place from generation to generation.
2 Before (B)the mountains were born
[c]Or You (C)brought forth the earth and the world,
Even (D)from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.
3 You (E)turn man back into dust
And say, “Return, O sons of men.”
4 For (F)a thousand years in Your sight
Are like (G)yesterday when it passes by,
[d]Or as a (H)watch in the night.
5 You (I)have [e]swept them away like a flood, they [f](J)fall asleep;
In the morning they are like (K)grass which [g]sprouts anew.
6 In the morning it (L)blossoms and [h]sprouts anew;
Toward evening it (M)withers away and (N)dries up.
13 (A)Return, O Yahweh; (B)how long will it be?
And [a]be (C)sorry for Your slaves.
14 O (D)satisfy us in the morning with Your lovingkindness,
That we may (E)sing for joy and be glad all our days.
15 (F)Make us glad [b]according to the days You have afflicted us,
And the (G)years we have seen [c]evil.
16 Let Your (H)work appear to Your slaves
And Your (I)majesty [d]to their sons.
17 Let the (J)favor of the Lord our God be upon us;
And (K)establish for us the work of our hands;
Establish the work of our hands.
44 Then Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the hearing of the people, he and [a](A)Joshua the son of Nun. 45 Then Moses finished speaking all these words to all Israel, 46 and he said to them, “(B)Place in your heart all the words with which I am warning you today, which you shall command (C)your sons to be careful to do, even all the words of this law. 47 For it is not an idle word for you; indeed (D)it is your life. And (E)by this word you will prolong your days in the land, [b]which you are about to cross the Jordan to [c]possess.”
39 [a](A)You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is (B)these that bear witness about Me; 40 and you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life. 41 (C)I do not receive glory from men; 42 but I know you, that you do not have the love of God in yourselves. 43 I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not receive Me; (D)if another comes in his own name, you will receive him. 44 How can you believe, when you (E)receive [b]glory from one another and you do not seek (F)the [c]glory that is from (G)the only God? 45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father; the one who accuses you is (H)Moses, in whom you have set your hope. 46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me, for (I)he wrote about Me. 47 But (J)if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?”
