| Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God. | Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the whole world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God. |
| For a thousand years in your sight are like yesterday when it is past, or like a watch in the night. | A thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night. |

| So teach us to count our days that we may gain a wise heart. | Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. |
| Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us, and prosper for us the work of our hands— O prosper the work of our hands! | May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us; establish the work of our hands for us— yes, establish the work of our hands. |
