Lord,
you have been
our dwelling place
in all generations.
Before
the mountains were brought forth,
or ever you had formed the earth and the world,
from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
So teach us to number our days
that we may get a heart of wisdom.
Satisfy us in the
morning with your steadfast love,
that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
Make us glad
for as many days
and for as many years
Let your work
be shown to us
and your glorious power to our their children.
Let the favor
of the Lord our God be upon us,
and establish
the work of our hands upon us;
yes, establish the work of our hands!
