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 the earth and the world came into existence, 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 to you a thousand years are like a yesterday that has passed or one of the watches of the night. |
Teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom. | Teach us to comprehend how few our days are so that our hearts may be filled with wisdom. |
And may the Lord our God show us his approval and make our efforts successful. Yes, make our efforts successful! | 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. |
