1Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.
2Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.
3Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men.
4For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
Verse explanation
Mountains were seen as the oldest and most solid things in creation. Saying that God already existed before them poetically affirms that He has no beginning, unlike everything else that is born and grows old.
