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.
32 His very looks do make the earth, As [a thing] frightened, to quake; His touch doth make the steadfast hills [Forthwith] as moved to smoke and shake.
