1 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.
