(Tefillah of Moshe, ish HaElohim) Adonoi, Thou hast been our ma'on (dwelling place) b'dor vador.
Before the harim were brought forth, or ever Thou hadst formed eretz and the tevel (inhabited world), even from olam ad olam, Thou art El (G-d).
Thou turnest enosh to dakka (dust); and sayest, Shuvu, ye Bnei Adam.
For an elef shanim in Thy sight are but as yom etmol (yesterday) when it is past, and as an ashmurah (watch, division of time) in the lailah.

זְ֭רַמְתָּם SDBH You sweep them away שֵׁנָ֣ה SDBH in their sleep יִהְי֑וּ they are בַּ֝בֹּ֗קֶר SDBH of the morning כֶּחָצִ֥יר SDBH like the new grass יַחֲלֹֽף׃ SDBH . . .
Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sheinah (sleep); in the boker they are like khatzir (grass) which withereth.
In the boker it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the erev it is cut down, and drieth up.
For we are consumed by Thine anger, and by Thy chemah are we troubled.
8
שַׁתָּ SDBH You have set עֲוֺנֹתֵ֣ינוּ SDBH our iniquities לְנֶגְדֶּ֑ךָ before You עֲ֝לֻמֵ֗נוּ SDBH our secret [sins] לִמְא֥וֹר SDBH in the light פָּנֶֽיךָ׃ of Your presence
Thou hast set avonoteinu before Thee, our secret sins in the ohr of Thy countenance.
For kol yameinu are passed away in Thy evrah (fury); we spend shaneinu (our years) like a sigh.
The yamim of shnoteinu (our years, life) are threescore shanah and ten; and if by reason of gevurot they are fourscore shanah, yet is their boast amal (trouble, toil) and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
11
מִֽי־ SDBH Who י֭וֹדֵעַ SDBH knows עֹ֣ז SDBH the power אַפֶּ֑ךָ SDBH of Your anger וּ֝כְיִרְאָתְךָ֗ SDBH matches the fear You are due עֶבְרָתֶֽךָ׃ SDBH Your wrath
Who has da'as of the oz (power) of Thine anger? Thy evrah is as great as Thy yirah (fear of, reverence owed G-d).
So teach us to number yameinu, that we may apply levav unto chochmah.
13
שׁוּבָ֣ה SDBH Return יְ֭הוָה SDBH Hashem/Adonoi עַד־ SDBH How long will it be מָתָ֑י SDBH . . . וְ֝הִנָּחֵ֗ם SDBH Have compassion עַל־ on עֲבָדֶֽיךָ׃ SDBH Your servants
Shuvah, Hashem. Ad mosai? Have compassion on Thy avadim.
14
O satisfy us baboker with Thy chesed; that we may sing for joy and be glad kol yameinu (all our days).
15
שַׂ֭מְּחֵנוּ SDBH Make us glad כִּימ֣וֹת SDBH for as many days עִנִּיתָ֑נוּ SDBH as You have afflicted us שְׁ֝נ֗וֹת SDBH for as many years רָאִ֥ינוּ SDBH as we have seen רָעָֽה׃ SDBH evil
Make us glad according to the days wherein Thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen ra'ah.
16
Let Thy work appear unto Thy avadim, and Thy glory unto their banim.
And let the no'am (favor, delightfulness) of Adonoi Eloheinu be upon us; and establish Thou the ma'aseh yadeinu upon us; yes, the ma'aseh yadeinu establish Thou it.
