With Your hand from men, O Lord, From men of the world who have their portion in this life, And whose belly You fill with Your hidden treasure. They are satisfied with children, And leave the rest of their possession for their babes.

Come, you children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the Lord.

How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God! Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of Your wings.

Remember how short my time is; For what futility have You created all the children of men?

Let Your work appear to Your servants, And Your glory to their children.

The children of Your servants will continue, And their descendants will be established before You.”

He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the children of Israel.

As a father pities his children, So the Lord pities those who fear Him.

But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting On those who fear Him, And His righteousness to children’s children,

O seed of Abraham His servant, You children of Jacob, His chosen ones!

Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men!

Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men!

Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men!
