Psalm 90:1-6, 13-17
Lord you have been our refuge from one
generation to another.
Before the mountains were brought forth,
or the land and the earth were born, from age to age
you are God.
You turn us back to the dust and say, Go back O child of
earth.
For a thousand years in your sight are like yesterday when it
is past and like a watch in
the night.
You sweep us away like a dream; we fade away suddenly
like the grass.
In the morning it is green and flourishes;
in the evening it is dried up and withered.
Return
O Lord; how long will you tarry?
be gracious to your servants.
Satisfy us by your
loving-kindness in the morning;
so shall we rejoice and be glad all the days of our life.
Make
us glad by the measure of the days that you afflicted us
and the
years in which we suffered adversity.
Show your servants your works
and your splendor to their children.
May the graciousness of the Lord
our God be upon us; prosper the work of our hands; prosper our
handiwork.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the
Holy Ghost;
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall
be,
world without end.
Amen.
