| Before the mountains were brought forth or the earth and the world came into existence, from everlasting to everlasting you are God. | Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. |
| For to you a thousand years are like a yesterday that has passed or one of the watches of the night. | For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night. |

| Teach us to comprehend how few our days are so that our hearts may be filled with wisdom. | So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. |
| May the favor of the Lord, our God, rest upon us. And may the work of our hands prosper— indeed, may the work of our hands prosper. | And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it. |
