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 born, before you had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, you are 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 your sight are just like yesterday when it is past, like 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 count our days, that we may gain a heart of 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. | Let the favor of the Lord our God be on us. Establish the work of our hands for us. Yes, establish the work of our hands. |
