In this Psalm of Moses, he acknowledges that God was before all of creation and He is eternal. He also acknowledges that humanity is not. Moses shares that life is full of toil and trouble in our 70-80 year average life span. Moses prays unto the Lord, "Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom." Moses cries out for the Lord to relent and have compassion because of His unfailing love. The Psalm ends with a request that the Lord would have favor on them and "establish the work of their hands."
