Two Labor Day Prayers

From the Book of Isaiah, Chapter 64, verses 5-6; 8-9:

You meet him who rejoices and does righteousness, who remembers You in Your ways. You are indeed angry, for we have sinned–In these ways we continue; And we need to be saved. But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. But now O Lord, You are our Father; we are the clay, and You, our potter; And we are all the work of Your hand. Do not be furious, O Lord, Nor remember iniquity forever; Indeed, please look–we all are Your people.”

From Psalm 90:1-7; 8-9; 12; 14-15, 17. A prayer of Moses, the man of God:

“For all our days have passed away in Your wrath; We finish our years like a sigh. So teach us to number our days, That we may gain a heart of wisdom. Oh, satisfy us early with Your mercy, That we may rejoice and be glad all our days! Make us glad according to the days in which You have afflicted us, The years in which we have seen evil. And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us, And establish the work of our hands for us; Yes, establish the work of our hands.”
