ORD, let me know mine end, and the number | of my days:
that I may be certified how | long I have to live.

2 Behold, thou hast made my days as it were a span long:
and mine age is even as nothing in respect of thee,
and verily every man living is altogether vanity.

3 For man walketh in a vain shadow, and disquieteth him self in vain: he heapeth up riches, and cannot tell | who shall gather them.

5 Deliver me from all mine of fences:

and make me not a rebuke unto the foolish.

6 When thou with rebukes dost chasten man for sin,

thou makest his beauty to consume away

like as it were a moth fretting a garment:

every man therefore | is but vanity.

7 Hear my prayer O LORD, and with thine ears consider my calling: hold not thy peace at my tears.

8 For I am a stranger with thee and a | sojourner:

as all my fathers were.

9 O spare me a little, that I may recover my strength:

before I go hence and be no more seen.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son:

and to the Holy Ghost;

As it was in the beginning, is now and | ever shall be: world without | end. Amen.

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 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 a sleep: and fade away | sudden -ly like the grass.

6 In the morning it is green and | groweth 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 fourscore years: yet is their strength then but labour and sorrow;

so soon passeth it a way 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, is now and ever - shall be:

world without | end. Amen.
