1. A prayer of Moses, the man of God. O Lord, you have been our refuge from generation to generation.
2. Before the mountains became, or the land was formed along with the world: from ages past, even to all ages, you are God.
3. And, lest man be turned aside in humiliation, you have said: Be converted, O sons of men.
4. For a thousand years before your eyes are like the days of yesterday, which have passed by, and they are like a watch of the night,
5. which was held for nothing: so their years shall be.
