- Lord, you have been our dwelling place throughout all generations.
- Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
- You turn men back to dust, saying, "Return to dust, O sons of men."
- For a thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night.
- You sweep men away in the sleep of death; they are like the new grass of the morning-
|
- though in the morning it springs up new, by evening it is dry and withered.
- We are consumed by your anger and terrified by your indignation.
- You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence.
- All our days pass away under your wrath; we finish our years with a moan.
