2. Before the harim were brought forth, or ever Thou hadst formed eretz and the tevel (inhabited world), even from olam ad olam, Thou art El (G-d).
3. Thou turnest enosh to dakka (dust); and sayest, Shuvu, ye Bnei Adam.
4. For an elef shanim in Thy sight are but as yom etmol (yesterday) when it is past, and as an ashmurah (watch, division of time) in the lailah.
