1. Lord, You have been our dwelling placein all generations.
2. Before the mountains were brought forth,or You had formed the earth and the world,even from everlasting to everlasting You are God.
3. You return man to the dustand say, “Return, you children of men.”
4. For a thousand years in Your sightare but as yesterday when it is past,or as a night watch in the night time.
5. You carry them away as with a flood;they are as a dream, like renewed grass in the morning:
6. In the morning it flourishes and grows up;in the evening it fades and withers.
7. For we are consumed by Your anger,and by Your wrath we are terrified.
