Remember how short my time is! For what vanity have you created all the children of men!

For a thousand years in your sight Are but as yesterday when it is past, As a watch in the night.

For we are consumed in your anger. We are troubled in your wrath.

For all our days have passed away in your wrath. We bring our years to an end as a sigh.

The days of our years are seventy, Or even by reason of strength eighty years; Yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, For it passes quickly, and we fly away.

Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, For as many years as we have seen evil.

Let the favor of the Lord our God be on us; Establish the work of our hands for us; Yes, establish the work of our hands.

For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, From the deadly pestilence.

For you, Yahweh, are my refuge! You have made the Most High your habitation.

For he will give his angels charge over you, To guard you in all your ways.

For you, Yahweh, have made me glad through your work. I will triumph in the works of your hands.

For, behold, your enemies, Yahweh, For, behold, your enemies shall perish. All the evil-doers will be scattered.

That you may give him rest from the days of adversity, Until the pit is dug for the wicked.

For Yahweh won't reject his people, Neither will he forsake his inheritance.

For judgment will return to righteousness. All the upright in heart shall follow it.

Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand up for me against the evil-doers?

For Yahweh is a great God, A great King above all gods.

For he is our God. We are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. Today, oh that you would hear his voice!

For great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised! He is to be feared above all gods.

For all the gods of the peoples are idols, But Yahweh made the heavens.
