LO
ORD, thou hast been our | refuge:

from one generation | to another.
2 Before the mountains were brought forth,
or ever the earth and the world | were made.

thou art God from everlasting, and I world without end.
3 Thou turnest man to destruction:

again thou sayest, Come again, ye | children of men.
4 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday:

seeing that is past as a / watch in the night.
5 As soon as thou scatterest them they are even as I a sleep:

and fade away sud denly like the grass.
6 In the morning it is green and grow eth up:

but in the evening it is cut down, dried | up and withered.
7 For we consume away in thy dis|pleasure:

and are afraid at thy wrathful | indignation. 8 Thou hast set our misdeeds before thee:

and our secret sins in the light | of thy countenance. 9 For when thou art angry all our days / are gone:

we bring our years to an end, as it were a | tale that is told. 10 The days of our age are threescore years and ten; and though men be so strong that they come to four|score years:

yet their strength then but labour and sorrow;

so soon passeth it alway and we are gone. 11 O teach us to number | our days:

that we may apply our hearts | unto wisdom.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son:

and | to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, t is now and ever | shall be:

world | without end. Amen. Intonation only in the first verse.
