Before the mountains were made, before you had given birth to the earth and the world, before time was, and for ever, you are God.
You send man back to his dust and say, Go back, you children of men.
For to you a thousand years are no more than yesterday when it is past, and like a watch in the night.
...
In the morning it is green in the evening it is cut down, and becomes dry.
We are burned up by the heat of your passion, and troubled by your wrath.
You have put our evil doings before you, our secret sins in the light of your face.
For all our days have gone by in your wrath our years come to an end like a breath.
The measure of our life is seventy years and if through strength it may be eighty years, its pride is only trouble and sorrow, for it comes to an end and we are quickly gone.
Who has knowledge of the power of your wrath, or who takes note of the weight of your passion?
So give us knowledge of the number of our days, that we may get a heart of wisdom.
Come back, O Lord how long? let your purpose for your servants be changed.
In the morning give us your mercy in full measure so that we may have joy and delight all our days.
Make us glad in reward for the days of our sorrow, and for the years in which we have seen evil.
Make your work clear to your servants, and your glory to their children.
Let the pleasure of the Lord our God be on us: O Lord, give strength to the work of our hands.
Happy is he whose resting-place is in the secret of the Lord, and under the shade of the wings of the Most High
Who says of the Lord, He is my safe place and my tower of strength: he is my God, in whom is my hope.
He will take you out of the bird-net, and keep you safe from wasting disease.
You will be covered by his feathers under his wings you will be safe: his good faith will be your salvation.
You will have no fear of the evil things of the night, or of the arrow in flight by day,
Or of the disease which takes men in the dark, or of the destruction which makes waste when the sun is high.
You will see a thousand falling by your side, and ten thousand at your right hand but it will not come near you.
Only with your eyes will you see the reward of the evil-doers.
Because you have said, I am in the hands of the Lord, the Most High is my safe resting-place
No evil will come on you, and no disease will come near your tent.
For he will give you into the care of his angels to keep you wherever you go.
In their hands they will keep you up, so that your foot may not be crushed against a stone.
You will put your foot on the lion and the snake the young lion and the great snake will be crushed under your feet.
Because he has given me his love, I will take him out of danger: I will put him in a place of honour, because he has kept my name in his heart.
When his cry comes up to me, I will give him an answer: I will be with him in trouble I will make him free from danger and give him honour.
With long life will he be rewarded and I will let him see my salvation.
To make clear your mercy in the morning, and your unchanging faith every night
On a ten-corded instrument, and on an instrument of music with a quiet sound.
For you, O Lord, have made me glad through your work I will have joy in the works of your hands.
O Lord, how great are your works! and your thoughts are very deep.
A man without sense has no knowledge of this and a foolish man may not take it in.
When the sinners come up like the grass, and all the workers of evil do well for themselves, it is so that their end may be eternal destruction.
But you, O Lord, are on high for ever.
For see! your haters, O Lord, will be put to death all the workers of evil will be put to flight
But my horn is lifted up like the horn of the ox: the best oil is flowing on my head.
My eyes have seen trouble come on my haters my ears have news of the fate of the evil-doers who have come up against me.
The good man will be like a tall tree in his strength his growth will be as the wide-stretching trees of Lebanon.
Those who are planted in the house of the Lord will come up tall and strong in his gardens.
They will give fruit even when they are old they will be fertile and full of growth
For a sign that the Lord is upright he is my Rock, there is no deceit in him.
The Lord is King he is clothed with glory the Lord is clothed with strength power is the cord of his robe the world is fixed, so that it may not be moved.
The seat of your power has been from the past you are eternal.
The rivers send up, O Lord, the rivers send up their voices they send them up with a loud cry.
The Lord in heaven is stronger than the noise of great waters, yes, he is stronger than the great waves of the sea.
Your witness is most certain it is right for your house to be holy, O Lord, for ever.
For which reason, because we have righteousness through faith, let us be at peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ
Through whom, in the same way, we have been able by faith to come to this grace in which we now are and let us have joy in hope of the glory of God.
And not only so, but let us have joy in our troubles: in the knowledge that trouble gives us the power of waiting
And waiting gives experience and experience, hope:
And hope does not put to shame because our hearts are full of the love of God through the Holy Spirit which is given to us.
For when we were still without strength, at the right time Christ gave his life for evil-doers.
Now it is hard for anyone to give his life even for an upright man, though it might be that for a good man someone would give his life.
But God has made clear his love to us, in that, when we were still sinners, Christ gave his life for us.
Much more, if we now have righteousness by his blood, will salvation from the wrath of God come to us through him.
For if, when we were haters of God, the death of his Son made us at peace with him, much more, now that we are his friends, will we have salvation through his life
And not only so, but we have joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we are now at peace with God.
