Lord, you have been our dwelling place Throughout all generations
Before the mountains were born Or you brought forth the whole world From everlasting to everlasting You are God
You turn people back to dust “Return to dust, you mortals” A thousand years in your sight Are like a day that has just gone by
Yet you sweep people away In the sleep of death They are like the new grass of the morning By evening it is dry and withered
We are consumed by your anger And terrified by your indignation You have set our iniquities before you Our secret sins in the light of your presence
All our days pass away Under your wrath The best of them are but trouble and sorrow For they quickly pass, and we fly away
If only we knew the power of your anger! Your wrath is great Teach us to number our days That we may gain a heart of wisdomTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
