1
Lord, you have been our dwelling place a in all generations.
2
Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
3
You turn us b back to dust, and say, "Turn back, you mortals."
4
For a thousand years in your sight are like yesterday when it is past, or like a watch in the night.
5
You sweep them away; they are like a dream, like grass that is renewed in the morning;
6
in the morning it flourishes and is renewed; in the evening it fades and withers.
