1Lord, thou hast been our habitation from generation to generation.
2Before the mountains were made, and before thou hadst formed the earth, and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting thou art our God.
3Thou turnest man to destruction; again thou sayest, Return, ye sons of Adam.
4For a thousand years in thy sight are as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
5Thou hast overflowed them; they are as a sleep: in the morning he groweth like grass;
6In the morning it flourisheth and groweth, but in the evening it is cut down and withereth.
7For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.
8Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, and our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.
9For all our days are passed away in thine anger: we have spent our years as a thought.
10The time of our life is threescore years and ten; and if they be of strength, fourscore years: yet their strength is but labour and sorrow; for it is cut off quickly, and we flee away.
11Who knoweth the power of thy wrath? For according to thy fear is thine anger.
12Teach us so to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
13Return (O LORD, how long?) and and be pacified toward thy servants.
14Fill us with thy mercy in the morning; so shall we rejoice and be glad all our days!
15Comfort us according to the days that thou hast afflicted us, and according to the years that we have seen evil.
16Let thy work be seen toward thy servants, and thy glory upon their children.
17And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and direct thou the work of our hands upon us, even direct the work of our hands.
