1. A prayer of Moses the man of God.Lord, thou hast been our refuge from generation to generation.
2. Before the mountains were made, or the earth and the world was formed; from eternity and to eternity thou art God.
3. Turn not man away to be brought low: and thou hast said: Be converted, O ye sons of men.
4. For a thousand years in thy sight are as yesterday, which is past. And as a watch in the night,
5. things that are counted nothing, shall their years be.
6. In the morning man shall grow up like grass; in the morning he shall flourish and pass away: in the evening he shall fall, grow dry, and wither.
7. For in thy wrath we have fainted away: and are troubled in thy indignation.
