29 Thou hidest thy lightsome quickening face, Then [sick or] troubled they decay; They die, and to their dust return, [When as] thou takest their breath away.
29 Thou hid'st thy lightsome quickening face, Then [sick or] troubled they decay; They die, and to their dust return, [When as] thou tak'st their breath away.
30 Thou sendest forth thy vital spirit, And they are as [it were] new made; With beauteous verdure thou renewest The face of earth [which seemed] decayed.
30 Thou sendest forth thy vital spirit, And they are as [it were] new made; With beauteous verdure thou renew'st The face of earth [which seem'd] decay'd.
31 But God's own Glory endless is, It never [fades or] waxeth old; The Lord with joy and pleasure doth His own great [perfect] works behold.
