- Before the mountains were brought forth,
or ever you had formed the earth and the world,
from everlasting to everlasting you are God. - For a thousand years in your sight
are like yesterday when it is past,
or like a watch in the night. - So teach us to count our days
that we may gain a wise heart. - Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us,
and prosper for us the work of our hands—
O prosper the work of our hands!
For God did not give us a spirit of cowardice, but rather a spirit of power and of love and of self-discipline.
