4For in Your sight a thousand yearsare like yesterday that has passed,like a watch of the night.

8You have set our iniquities before You,our hidden sins in the light of Your face.
ט׳כִּ֣י כׇל־יָ֭מֵינוּ פָּנ֣וּ בְעֶבְרָתֶ֑ךָ כִּלִּ֖ינוּ שָׁנֵ֣ינוּ כְמוֹ־הֶֽגֶה׃
9All our days pass away in Your wrath;we spend our years like a sigh.

י״איִשְׂמְח֣וּ הַ֭שָּׁמַיִם וְתָגֵ֣ל הָאָ֑רֶץ יִֽרְעַ֥ם הַ֝יָּ֗ם וּמְלֹאֽוֹ׃
11Let the heavens rejoice and the earth exult;let the sea and all within it thunder,
י״ביַעֲלֹ֣ז שָׂ֭דַי וְכׇל־אֲשֶׁר־בּ֑וֹ אָ֥ז יְ֝רַנְּנ֗וּ כׇּל־עֲצֵי־יָֽעַר׃
12the fields and everything in them exult;then shall all the trees of the forest shout for joy
י״גלִפְנֵ֤י יְהֹוָ֨ה ׀ כִּ֬י בָ֗א כִּ֥י בָא֮ לִשְׁפֹּ֢ט הָ֫אָ֥רֶץ יִשְׁפֹּֽט־תֵּבֵ֥ל בְּצֶ֑דֶק וְ֝עַמִּ֗ים בֶּאֱמוּנָתֽוֹ׃ {פ}
13at the presence of GOD, who is coming,coming to rule the earth—to rule the world justly,and its peoples in faithfulness.
