Lord, You have been
our 1 adwelling
place
in all
generations
.
Before athe mountains
were born
1Or You bgave
birth
to the earth
and the world
, Even cfrom everlasting
to everlasting
, You are God
.
You aturn man
back
into dust
And say
, "Return
, O children
of men
."
For aa thousand years
in Your sight
Are like byesterday
when
it passes
by, 1Or as a cwatch
in the night
.
You ahave 1swept them away
like
a flood
, they 2 bfall
asleep
; In the morning
they are like cgrass
which 3sprouts
anew
.
In the morning it aflourishes
and 1sprouts
anew
; Toward evening
it bfades
and cwithers
away.
For we have been aconsumed
by Your anger
And by Your wrath
we have been 1dismayed
.
You have aplaced our iniquities
before
You, Our bsecret
sins in the light
of Your presence
.
For aall our days
have declined
in Your fury
; We have finished
our years
like
a 1sigh
.
As for the days of our 1life
, 2they contain seventy
years
, Or if
due to strength
, aeighty
years
, Yet their pride
is but blabor
and sorrow
; For soon
it is gone
and we cfly
away
.
Who 1understands
the apower
of Your anger
And Your fury
, according to the bfear
2that is due You?
So ateach
us to number
our days
, That we may 1 bpresent
to You a heart
of wisdom
.
Do areturn, O LORD
; bhow
long
will it be? And 1be csorry
for Your servants
.
O asatisfy us in the morning
with Your lovingkindness
, That we may bsing
for joy
and be glad
all
our days
.
aMake us glad
1according to the days
You have afflicted
us, And the byears
we have seen
2evil
.
Let Your awork appear
to Your servants
And Your bmajesty
1to their children
.
Let the afavor of the Lord
our God
be upon us; And 1 bconfirm
for us the work
of our hands
; Yes, 1confirm
the work
of our hands
.
