1 Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.
         
                                
                        2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.
         
                                
                        3 Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men.
         
                                
                        4 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
         
                                
                        5 Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.
         
                                
                        6 In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.
         
                                
                        7 For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.
