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.
***
4 For a thousand years in Thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
***
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.
8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of Thy countenance.
***
10 The days of our years are threescore years and ten (70 years); and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
***
12 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
***
16 Let Thy work appear unto Thy servants, and thy glory unto their children.
17 And let the beauty 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.
