1
Lord, thou hast been our refuge from generation to generation.
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.
3
Thou dost turn unto man until he is broken and thou saith, Become converted, ye sons of Adam.
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 dost cause them to pass by as the waters of a river; they are
as a dream, which is strong in the morning like grass.
6
In the morning it blossoms and grows up; in the evening it is cut down and withers.
7
For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath we are troubled.
8
Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret
sins in the light of thy countenance.
9
For all our days decline because of thy wrath; we end our years according to the word.
