Lord, you have been our dwelling place
    throughout all generations. 2  Before the mountains were born
    or you brought forth the whole world,
    from everlasting to everlasting you are God. 3  You turn people back to dust,
    saying, “Return to dust, you mortals.” 4  A thousand years in your sight
    are like a day that has just gone by,
    or like a watch in the night. 5  Yet you sweep people away in the sleep of death—
    they are like the new grass of the morning: 6  In the morning it springs up new,
    but by evening it is dry and withered. 7  We are consumed by your anger
    and terrified by your indignation. 8  You have set our iniquities before you,
    our secret sins in the light of your presence. 9  All our days pass away under your wrath;
    we finish our years with a moan. 10  Our days may come to seventy years,
    or eighty, if our strength endures;
yet the best of them are but trouble and sorrow,
    for they quickly pass, and we fly away.
