pleasure
in
her stones, and favour
the
dust thereof

created shall
praise the
LORD
.

old
like
a garment ;
as a
vesture
shalt
thou change
them, and they shall
be
changed :
They --
They
perish, and
Thou remainest
, And
all of them as
a garment become
old,
As clothing
Thou changest
them, And they are
changed .
But
thou art the same, and thy
years shall
have
no
end
.

art '
the same, and Thine
years are
not
finished

The children
of thy servants shall

be
established
before thee .
The sons
of Thy servants do
continue, And their seed before Thee is
established!
