1
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.
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
up .
6
In the
morning it
flourisheth , and groweth
up ; in the
evening it is cut
down , and
withereth .
7
For we are
consumed by thine
anger, and by thy
wrath are we
troubled .
8
Thou hast
set our
iniquities before thee, our
secret sins in the
light of thy
countenance.

9
For all our
days are passed
away in thy
wrath: we
spend our
years as a
tale that is told.
10
The
days of our
years are
threescore years and
ten; and if by reason of
strength they be
fourscore years, yet is their
strength labour and
sorrow; for it is
soon cut
off , and we fly
away .
11
Who
knoweth the
power of thine
anger? even according to thy
fear, so is thy
wrath.

12
So
teach us to
number our
days, that we may
apply our
hearts unto
wisdom.
13
Return , O
LORD, how long? and let it
repent thee concerning thy
servants.
14
O
satisfy us
early with thy
mercy; that we may
rejoice and be
glad all our
days.

Make us
glad according to the
days wherein thou hast
afflicted us, and the
years wherein we have
seen evil.

16
Let thy
work appear unto thy
servants, and thy
glory unto their
children.
17
And let the
beauty of the
LORD our
God be upon us: and
establish thou the
work of our
hands upon us; yea, the
work of our
hands establish thou it.
