Latin
God created man out of dust,
And turned him back thereunto.
He granted them a [fixed[ number of days,
And gave them authority over all things on the earth.
He clothed them with strength like unto Himself,
And made them according to His own image.
He put the fear of them upon all flesh,
And caused them to have power over beasts and birds.
