| 1 | Lord, you have been our dwelling place for all generations. |
| 2 | Before the mountains were brought forth, before you had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God. |
| 3 | You turn man to destruction, saying, "Return, you children of men." |
| 4 | For a thousand years in your sight are just like yesterday when it is past, like a watch in the night. |
| 5 | You sweep them away as they sleep. In the morning they sprout like new grass. |
| 6 | In the morning it sprouts and springs up. By evening, it is withered and dry. |
| 7 | For we are consumed in your anger. We are troubled in your wrath. |
| 8 | You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence. |
| 9 | For all our days have passed away in your wrath. We bring our years to an end as a sigh. |
| 10 | The days of our years are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty years; yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, for it passes quickly, and we fly away. |
| 11 | Who knows the power of your anger, your wrath according to the fear that is due to you? |
| 12 | So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. |
| 13 | Relent, Yahweh! How long? Have compassion on your servants! |
| 14 | Satisfy us in the morning with your loving kindness, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. |
| 15 | Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen evil. |
| 16 | Let your work appear to your servants; your glory to their children. |
| 17 | Let the favor of the Lord our God be on us; establish the work of our hands for us; yes, establish the work of our hands. Psalm 91 |
