If I may go off on a tangent--"O God, Our Help" is by
Isaac Watts, according to everything I can find, and
the imagery is from Psalm 90 (89 in the Vulgate). The
image of time like a river is from verse 5, and I
imagine Derzhavin got it from the same source. Much
as I hate to remove Greatorex from this discussion.
