Lord you have been our dwelling place
In all generations
Before the mountains were brought forth
Or ever you had formed the earth and the world
From everlasting to everlasting you are God
You return man to dust
And say "Return O children of man"
For a thousand years in your sight
Are but as yesterday when it is past
Or as a watch in the night
You sweep them away as with a flood they are like a dream
Like grass that is renewed in the morning
In the morning it flourishes and is renewed
In the evening it fades and withers
For we are brought to an end by your anger
By your wrath we are dismayed
You have set our iniquities before you
Our secret sins in the light of your presence
For all our days pass away under your wrath
We bring our years to an end like a sigh
The years of our life are seventy
Or even by reason of strength eighty
Yet their span is but toil and trouble
They are soon gone and we fly away
Lord you have been our dwelling place
In all generations
Before the mountains were brought forth
Or ever you had formed the earth and the world
From everlasting to everlasting you are God
You return man to dust
And say "Return O children of man"
For a thousand years in your sight
Are but as yesterday when it is past
Or as a watch in the night
You sweep them away as with a flood they are like a dream
Like grass that is renewed in the morning
In the morning it flourishes and is renewed
In the evening it fades and withers
For we are brought to an end by your anger
By your wrath we are dismayed
You have set our iniquities before you
Our secret sins in the light of your presence
For all our days pass away under your wrath
We bring our years to an end like a sigh
The years of our life are seventy
Or even by reason of strength eighty
