1. O Lord, you have been our help in all generations.
2. Before the mountains were born and you brought forth the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.
3. You return man to the dust, saying, “Return, O sons of man.”
4. For a thousand years in your eyes are like yesterday when it passes, or like a watch in the night.
5. You sweep them away like a flood. They fall asleep. In the morning they are like grass that sprouts anew.
