Lord, thou hast been our dwelling
place in
all generations.

Before the
mountains were brought
forth, or ever thou hadst
formed the
earth and the
world, even from
everlasting to everlasting, thou art
God.

Thou
turnest man to

sayest,
Return, ye
children of
men.

For a
thousand years in thy
sight are but
as yesterday when it is
past, and as a
watch in the
night.

Thou carriest them away as with a
flood; they are as a
sleep: in the
morning they are like
grass which groweth
up.

In the

evening it is cut
down, and
withereth.

For we are
consumed by thine
anger, and by thy
wrath are we
troubled.

Thou hast
set our
iniquities before thee, our
secret sins in the
light of thy
countenance.

For all our

away in thy
wrath: we
spend our
years as a
tale that is told.

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.

wrath.
