- Before the mountains were brought forth,
or ever you had formed the earth and the world,
from everlasting to everlasting you are God. - For a thousand years in your sight
are but as yesterday when it is past,
or as a watch in the night. - So teach us to number our days
that we may get a heart of wisdom. - Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us,
and establish the work of our hands upon us;
yes, establish the work of our hands!
Commit your way to the Lord;
trust in him, and he will act.
He will bring forth your righteousness as the light,
and your justice as the noonday.
