###### 1
|
|
Lord, You have been our dwelling place from generation to generation.
|
|
|
|
###### 2
|
|
Before the mountains were born Or You brought forth the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.
|
|
|
|
###### 3
|
|
You turn man back into dust And say, "Return, O sons of men."
|
|
|
|
###### 4
|
|
For a thousand years in Your sight Are like yesterday when it passes by, Or _as_ a watch in the night.
|
|
|
|
###### 5
|
|
You have swept them away like a flood, they fall asleep; In the morning they are like grass which sprouts anew.
|
|
|
|
###### 6
|
|
In the morning it blossoms and sprouts anew; Toward evening it withers away and dries up.
|
|
|
|
###### 7
|
|
For we have been consumed by Your anger And by Your wrath we have been dismayed.
|
|
|
|
###### 8
|
|
You have set our iniquities before You, Our secret _sins_ in the light of Your presence.
|
|
|
|
###### 9
|
|
For all our days have declined in Your fury; We have finished our years like a sigh.
|
|
|
|
###### 10
|
|
As for the days of our life, they contain seventy years, Or if due to might, eighty years, Yet their pride is _but_ labor and wickedness; For soon it is gone and we fly away.
|
|
|
|
###### 11
|
|
Who knows the power of Your anger And Your fury, according to the fear that is due You?
|
|
|
|
###### 12
|
|
So teach us to number our days, That we may present _to You_ a heart of wisdom.
|
|
|
|
###### 13
|
|
Return, O Yahweh; how long _will it be_? And be sorry for Your slaves.
|
|
|
|
###### 14
|
|
O satisfy us in the morning with Your lovingkindness, That we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.
|
|
|
|
###### 15
|
|
Make us glad according to the days You have afflicted us, _And_ the years we have seen evil.
|
|
|
|
###### 16
|
|
Let Your work appear to Your slaves And Your majesty to their sons.
|
|
|
|
###### 17
|
|
Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us; And establish for us the work of our hands; Establish the work of our hands.
