Lord, you have been our refuge from one generation to another.
2. Before the mountains were brought forth, or the land and the earth were born, from age to age you are God.
3. You turn us back to the dust and say, "Go back, O child of earth."
4. For a thousand years in your sight are like yesterday when it is past and like a watch in the night.
Lord, you have been our refuge from one generation to another.
5. You sweep us away like a dream; we fade away suddenly like the grass.
6. In the morning it is green and flourishes; in the evening it is dried up and withered.
Lord, you have been our refuge from one generation to another.
13. Return O Lord; how long will you tarry? be gracious to your servants.
14. Satisfy us by your loving-kindness in the morning; so shall we rejoice and be glad all the days of our life.
Lord, you have been our refuge from one generation to another.
15. Make us glad by the measure of the days that you afflicted us and the years in which we suffered adversity.
16. Show your servants your works and your splendour to their children.
17. May the graciousness of the Lord our God be upon us; prosper the work of our hands; prosper our handiwork.
Lord, you have been our refuge from one generation to another.
