First Six Verses Of The Ninetieth Psalm Versified, The(2/2)
y sight
thaerday that's past.
thou giv'st the word: thy creature, man,
is to existence brought;
again thou say'st, “ye sons of men,
returo nought!”
thou yest them, with all their cares,
iing sleep;
as with a flood thou tak'st them off
with overwhelming sweep.
they flourish like the m flow'r,
iy's pride array'd;
but long ere night cut down it lies
all wither'd and decay'd.
