Psalm
R. In every age, O Lord, you have been our refuge.
Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God. R.
You turn us back to dust, and say, “Turn back, you mortals.” For a thousand years in your sight are like yesterday when it is past, or like a watch in the night. R.
You sweep them away; they are like a dream, like grass that is renewed in the morning; in the morning it flourishes and is renewed; in the evening it fades and withers. R.
So teach us to count our days that we may gain a wise heart. Turn, O Lord! How long? Have compassion on your servants! R.
