Lyrics: 

Dómine, refúgium factus es nobis: * a generatióne in generatiónem.
2  Priúsquam montes fíerent, aut formarétur terra et orbis: * a sæculo et usque in sæculum tu es, Deus.
3  Ne avértas hóminem in humilitátem: * et dixísti: Convertímini, fílii hóminum.
4  Quóniam mille anni ante óculos tuos, * tamquam dies hestérna, quæ prætériit.
5  Et custódia in nocte, * quæ pro níhilo habéntur, eórum anni erunt.
6  Mane sicut herba tránseat, mane flóreat, et tránseat: * véspere décidat, indúret et aréscat.
7  Quia defécimus in ira tua, * et in furóre tuo turbáti sumus.
8  Posuísti iniquitátes nostras in conspéctu tuo: * sæculum nostrum in illuminatióne vultus tui.
9  Quóniam omnes dies nostri defecérunt: * et in ira tua defécimus.
10  Anni nostri sicut aránea meditabúntur: * dies annórum nostrórum in ipsis, septuagínta anni.
11  Si autem in potentátibus, octogínta anni: * et ámplius eórum, labor et dolor.
12  Quóniam supervénit mansuetúdo: * et corripiémur.
13  Quis novit potestátem iræ tuæ: * et præ timóre tuo iram tuam dinumeráre?
14  Déxteram tuam sic notam fac: * et erudítos corde in sapiéntia.
15  Convértere, Dómine, úsquequo? * et deprecábilis esto super servos tuos.
16  Repléti sumus mane misericórdia tua: * et exsultávimus, et delectáti sumus ómnibus diébus nostris.
17  Lætáti sumus pro diébus, quibus nos humiliásti: * annis, quibus vídimus mala.
18  Réspice in servos tuos, et in ópera tua: * et dírige fílios eórum.
19  Et sit splendor Dómini Dei nostri super nos, et ópera mánuum nostrárum dírige super nos: * et opus mánuum nostrárum dírige. 
Et non dicitur Glória Patri.

Translated Lyrics: 

Lord, thou hast been our refuge, * from one generation to another.
2  Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever the earth and the world were made, * thou art God from everlasting, and world without end.
3  Turn thou not man to be made low ; * thou hast said, Turn ye, O ye children of men.
4  For a thousand years in thy sight * are but as yesterday when it is past.
5  And as a watch in the night, * things that are counted as nought, shall their years be.
6  In the morning man shall grow up like the grass, yea, in the morning he shall flourish and pass away : * in the evening he shall fall, dry up, and wither.
7  For we are consumed away in thy wrath, * and are troubled in thine indignation.
8  Thou hast set our misdeeds before thee; * and our life in the light of thy countenance.
9  For all our days are gone: * and thy wrath we are consumed away.
10  Our years shall be considered as a spider : * the days of our years are threescore years and ten.
11  But if in the strong they come to fourscore years, * then what is more of them is but labour and sorrow.
12  For meekness hath come upon us, * and we shall be swept away.
13  Who knoweth the power of thy wrath? * or how for fear to number aright thy wrath?
14  So make thy right hand known : * and men applied their hearts unto wisdom.
15  Turn thee again, O Lord, at the last, * and be gracious unto thy servants.
16  We are filled in the morning with thy mercy, * and we have rejoiced and we are glad all the days of our life.
17  We have rejoiced for the days in which thou hast humbled us; * and for the years wherein we have suffered evils.
18  Look upon thy servants, and upon thy works : * and be thou a guide unto their children.
19  And the glorious majesty of the Lord our God be upon us: prosper thou the work of our hands upon us; * O prosper thou our handy-work..
Here is not said Glory be.
