1. O Lord, you have been our refuge throughout every generation.
2. Before the mountains were born,before you gave birth to the earth and the world, you were God.You are God from everlasting to everlasting.
3. You turn mortals back into dustand say, “Return, descendants of Adam.”
4. Indeed, in your sight a thousand years are like a single day,like yesterday—already past—like an hour in the night.
5. You sweep mortals away.They are a dream.They sprout again in the morning like cut grass.
6. In the morning they blossom and sprout.In the evening they wither and dry up.
