[1] Lord, you have been our dwelling place    In all generations. [2]
Before the mountains were brought forth,    Or ever you had formed the
earth and the world,	Even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.
[3] You turn man to destruction, saying,    "Return, you children of men."
[4] For a thousand years in your sight	  Are but as yesterday when it is
past,	 As a watch in the night. [5] You sweep them away as they sleep.   
In the morning they sprout like new grass. [6] In the morning it sprouts
and springs up.    By evening, it is withered and dry. [7] For we are
consumed in your anger.    We are troubled in your wrath. [8] You have set
our iniquities before you,    Our secret sins in the light of your
presence. [9] For all our days have passed away in your wrath.	  We bring
our years to an end as a sigh. [10] The days of our years are seventy,	 
Or even by reason of strength eighty years;    Yet their pride is but labor
and sorrow,    For it passes quickly, and we fly away. [11] Who knows the
power of your anger,	Your wrath according to the fear that is due to
you? [12] So teach us to number our days,    That we may gain a heart of
wisdom. [13] Relent, Yahweh! How long?	  Have compassion on your servants.
[14] Satisfy us in the morning with your lovingkindness,    That we may
rejoice and be glad all our days. [15] Make us glad for as many days as you
have afflicted us,    For as many years as we have seen evil. [16] Let your
work appear to your servants;	 Your glory to their children. [17] Let the
favor of the Lord our God be on us;    Establish the work of our hands for
us;    Yes, establish the work of our hands.	  Psalm 91
