901Lord, you have been our dwelling place for all generations.+2Before the mountains were born,before you had formed the earth and the world,even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.+3You turn man to destruction, saying,“Return, you children of men.”+4For a thousand years in your sight are just like yesterday when it is past,like a watch in the night.+5You sweep them away as they sleep.In the morning they sprout like new grass.+6In the morning it sprouts and springs up.By evening, it is withered and dry.+7For we are consumed in your anger.We are troubled in your wrath.+8You have set our iniquities before you,our secret sins in the light of your presence.+9For all our days have passed away in your wrath.We bring our years to an end as a sigh.+10The days of our years are seventy,or even by reason of strength eighty years;yet their pride is but labor and sorrow,for it passes quickly, and we fly away.+11Who knows the power of your anger,your wrath according to the fear that is due to you?+12So teach us to count our days,that we may gain a heart of wisdom.+13Relent, Yahweh!How long?Have compassion on your servants!+14Satisfy us in the morning with your loving kindness,that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.+15Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us,for as many years as we have seen evil.+16Let your work appear to your servants;your glory to their children.+17Let the favor of the Lord our God be on us;establish the work of our hands for us;yes, establish the work of our hands.+Footnotes (2)
