Verses for our days

For we are strangers before thee, and sojourners, as were all our fathers: our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is none abiding.

Thus have we obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab our father in all that he hath charged us, to drink no wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, nor our daughters;

(For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth are a shadow:)

They hunt our steps, that we cannot go in our streets: our end is near, our days are fulfilled; for our end is come.

Turn thou us unto thee, O LORD, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old.

For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told.

So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
