THou Lord our stay, hast been an house of habitation. From generation, unto us, to generation. verse 2 Before the mountains were begot, the earth and world before Thou formed hadst, thou art a God from ay for evermore.
verse 3 Thou dost by bruising to decay turn miserable men; Ye sons of men, then dost thou say return ye back again. ⟨p. 228⟩verse 4 For while a thousand years do last, it is but in thy sight As yesterday when it is past, and as a watch by night.
verse 5 Thou dost them bear away like as a flood that overflows: Like sleep they are, and as the grass, which in the morning grows verse 6 Which in the morn is flourishing, and springing up doth rise; Which is cut down at evening, it withereth up likewise.
