Are thy days as the days of man,\par\tab Or thy years as man's days,
But forget not this one thing, beloved, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
{\b And as a mantle shalt thou roll them up,\par\tab As a garment, and they shall be changed:\par\tab But thou art the same,\par\tab And thy years shall not fail.}
But thou, O Jehovah, wilt abide for ever;\par\tab And thy memorial {\i name} unto all generations.
Behold, God is great, and we know him not;\par\tab The number of his years is unsearchable.
That thou inquirest after mine iniquity,\par\tab And searchest after my sin,
The children of thy servants shall continue,\par\tab And their seed shall be established before thee.
