Before the mountains were born Or You gave birth to the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God. | 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 like yesterday when it passes by, Or like a watch in the night. | 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 present to You a heart of wisdom. | So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom. |
May the kindness of the Lord our God be upon us; And confirm for us the work of our hands; Yes, confirm the work of our hands. | 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! |
