| Before the mountains were born, before you gave birth to the earth and the world, from beginning to end, 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 you, a thousand years are as a passing day, as brief as a few night hours. | For a thousand years in your sight are but as yesterday when it is past, or as a watch in the night. |
| Teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom. | So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom. |
| And may the Lord our God show us his approval and make our efforts successful. Yes, make our efforts successful! | 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! |
