|
|
1 |
Lord, thou hast been
our dwelling place in all generations. |
|
|
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 turnest man to
destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men.
|
|
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 carriest them
away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like
grass which groweth up.
|
|
6 |
In the morning it
flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.
|
|
7 |
For we are consumed
by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.
|
|
8 |
Thou hast set our
iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.
|
|
9 |
For all our days are
passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told.
|
|
10 |
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.
|
|
11 |
Who knoweth the
power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath.
|
|
12 |
So teach us to
number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
|
|
13 |
Return, O LORD, how
long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.
|
|
14 |
O satisfy us early
with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
|
|
15 |
Make us glad
according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein
we have seen evil.
|
|
16 |
Let thy work appear
unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children.
|
|
17 |
And let the beauty
of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands
upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.
