Ling-place in all generations.

Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever the earth and the world were made, thou art God from everlafting and world without end.

Thou turneft man to deftruction : Again thou fayeft, Return, ye children of men.

For a thousand years in thy fight are but as yesterday when it is past; and as a watch in the night.

Thou carrieft them away as with a flood, they are as a fleep, in the morning they are like grafs which groweth up: In the morning it is green and groweth up, but in the evening it is cut down, dried up and withered.

The days of our age are threefcore years and ten, and though men be fo ftrong, that they come to fourfcore years: Yet is their strength then but labour and forrow; fo foon paffeth it away, and we are gone.

So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

Turn thee again, O Lord, at the laft, and be gracious unto thy fervants: O fatisfy us with thy mercy, and that foon, fo fhall we rejoice and be glad all the days of our life.

Comfort us again now after the time that thou haft afflicted us, and for the years wherein we have fuffered adverfity: Shew thy fervants thy work, and their children thy glory.

And the glorious majesty of the Lord our God be upon us: Profper thou the work of our hands upon O profper thou our handy

The Lord killeth, and maketh alive: He bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up.

The Lord maketh poor and maketh rich He bringeth low, and lifteth up.

He raifeth up the poor out of the duft; and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill,

To fet them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory.

He will keep the feet of his faints. The Lord fhall judge the ends of the earth.

And he fhall give ftrength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.
