 They shall perish but thou remainest: and all of them shall grow old like a garment:

And as a vesture thou shalt change them, and they shall be changed. But thou art always the self-same and thy years shall not fail.

The children of thy servants shall continue: and their seed shall be directed for ever.

Glory be to the Father, &c.

UT of the depths I have cried to thee, O Lord: Lord, hear my voice. Let thy ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.

If thou, O Lord, wilt mark iniquities, Lord, who shall stand it?

For with thee there is merciful forgiveness: and by reason of thy law, I have waited for thee, O Lord.

My soul hath relied on his word; my soul hath hoped in the Lord.

From the morning watch even until night, let Israel hope in the Lord.

Because with the Lord there is mercy; and with him plentiful redemption.

And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

Glory be to the Father, &c.

1. David prayeth for favor in judgment; 3, represents his distress; 7. he prayeth for grace; 9. for deliverance; 10. for sanctification; 12. victory over his enemies.

EAR, O Lord, my prayer; give ear to my supplication in thy truth: hear me in thy justice,

And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight no man living shall be justified.
