From men with Your hand, O Lord,
From men of the world, whose portion is in this life,
And whose belly You fill with Your treasure;
They are satisfied with children,
And leave their abundance to their babes.

Both young men and virgins;
Old men and children.

You turn man back into dust
And say, “Return, O children of men.”

How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God!
And the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings.
