| 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 born or you brought forth the whole 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. | 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 realize the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom. | Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of 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 on us; establish the work of our hands for us— yes, establish the work of our hands. |
Bible verse of the day
Only a fool despises a parent’s discipline;whoever learns from correction is wise.
