1 A prayer of Moses, the man of God.Lord, you have been our refugethrough all generations.
2 Before the mountains were born,the earth and the world brought forth,from eternity to eternity you are God.
3 You turn humanity back into dust,saying, “Return, you children of Adam!”
4 A thousand years in your eyesare merely a day gone by,Before a watch passes in the night,
5 you wash them away;They sleep,and in the morning they sprout again like an herb.
6 In the morning it blooms only to pass away;in the evening it is wilted and withered.
