O Lord, you have been our refuge,       from generation to generation.Before the mountains were born, or the earth or the world were brought forth, you are God, from age to age.You turn man back to dust, and say, “Return, O children of men.” To your eyes a thousand years are like yesterday, come and gone, or like a watch in the night.You sweep them away like a dream, like grass which is fresh in the morning. In the morning it sprouts and is fresh; by evening it withers a
