1. A prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, thou hast been our dwelling-place in all generations.
2. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.
3. Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men.
4. For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
5. Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep; in the morning they are like grass which groweth.
6. In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.
7. For we are consumed by thy anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.
