Let the favor of the Lord our God be on us;
establish for us the work of our hands—
establish the work of our hands!

Do You work wonders for the dead?
Do departed spirits rise up to praise You?Selah

Let Your work be seen by Your servants,
and Your splendor by their children.

Long ago You established the earth,
and the heavens are the work of Your hands.

Man goes out to his work
and to his labor until evening.

In vain you get up early and stay up late,
working hard to have enough food—
yes, He gives sleep to the one He loves.

The Lord will fulfill His purpose for me.
Lord, Your love is eternal;
do not abandon the work of Your hands.

I remember the days of old;
I meditate on all You have done;
I reflect on the work of Your hands.
