³ You turn us^[a] back to dust
    and say, “Turn back, you mortals.”^(A)
4 For a thousand years in your sight
    are like yesterday when it is past
    or like a watch in the night.^(B)

⁵ You sweep them away; they are like a dream,
    like grass that is renewed in the morning;^(C)
6 in the morning it flourishes and is renewed;
    in the evening it fades and withers.^(D)

¹³ Turn, O Lord! How long?
    Have compassion on your servants!^(B)
14 Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love,
    so that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.^(C)
15 Make us glad as many days as you have afflicted us
    and as many years as we have seen evil.
¹⁶ Let your work be manifest to your servants
    and your glorious power to their children.^(D)
17 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!^(E)
