1. A prayer of Moses, the man of God.Lord, you have been our refugethrough all generations.
2. Before the mountains were born,the earth and the world brought forth,from eternity to eternity you are God.
3. You turn humanity back into dust,saying, “Return, you children of Adam!”
4. A thousand years in your eyesare merely a day gone by,Before a watch passes in the night,
5. you wash them away;They sleep,and in the morning they sprout again like an herb.
6. In the morning it blooms only to pass away;in the evening it is wilted and withered.
