Rh Of old didst thou lay the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the work of thy hands.
 * They shall perish, but thou shalt endure;

Yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed;
 * But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end.

Psalm xc LORD, thou hast been our dwelling-place in all generations.
 * Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world,

Even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.
 * Thou turnest man to destruction, and sayest, Return, ye children of men.

For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
 * Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep:

In the morning they are like grass which groweth up.
 * In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.

So teach us to number our days, that we may get us a heart of wisdom.
 * Return, O Lord; how long? And let it repent thee concerning thy servants.

Oh satisfy us in the morning with thy lovingkindness, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
 * Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us.

And the years wherein we have seen evil.
 * Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory upon their children,

And let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us;
 * And establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.
