- Before the mountains were born
or you brought forth the whole world,
from everlasting to everlasting you are God. - A thousand years in your sight
are like a day that has just gone by,
or like a watch in the night. - Teach us to number our days,
that we may gain a heart of wisdom. - 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.
And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Therefore, since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God.Next verse!With image
