“O our God,
we thank you and praise your glorious name!
But who am I,
and who are my people,
that we could give anything to you?
Everything we have has come from you,
and we give you only what you first gave us!
We are here for only a moment,
visitors and strangers in the land
as our ancestors were before us.
Our days on earth are like a passing shadow,
gone so soon without a trace.
