For they shall soon be cut down like the grass,\par\tab And wither as the green herb.
When the wicked spring as the grass,\par\tab And when all the workers of iniquity do flourish;\par\tab It is that they shall be destroyed for ever.
He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down:\par\tab He fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.
For,\par\tab {\b All flesh is as grass,\par\tab And all the glory thereof as the flower of grass.\par\tab The grass withereth, and the flower falleth:}
But thou, O Jehovah, art on high for evermore.
For there shall be no reward to the evil man;\par\tab The lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
