Quick answer
Moses asks God to satisfy His people early with steadfast love, so their days overflow with joy.
Overview
He prays for God's chesed to fill the morning of life and renew joy for all their days. Lasting gladness comes only from God's covenant love, not life's brief pleasures. This satisfaction is fully realized in Christ, in whom God's steadfast love is poured out and our joy is made complete (John 15:11).
