1. Lord, from the very beginning you have been like a home to us.
2. Before you created the world and the mountains were made, from the beginning to the end you are God.
3. You turn human beings back to dust. You say to them, "Return to dust."
4. To you a thousand years are like a day that has just gone by. They are like a few hours of the night.
5. You sweep people away, and they die. They are like new grass that grows in the morning.
6. In the morning it springs up new, but by evening it's all dried up.
7. Your anger destroys us. Your burning anger terrifies us.
8. You have put our sins right in front of you. You have placed our secret sins where you can see them clearly.
9. You have been angry with us all of our days. We groan as we come to the end of our lives.
