1. Lord, you have been our dwelling placein all generations.
2. Before the mountains were brought forth,or ever you had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
3. You return man to dustand say, “Return, O children of man!”
4. For a thousand years in your sightare but as yesterday when it is past,or as a watch in the night.
5. You sweep them away as with a flood; they are like a dream,like grass that is renewed in the morning:
6. in the morning it flourishes and is renewed;in the evening it fades and withers.
7. For we are brought to an end by your anger;by your wrath we are dismayed.
