PSALM xxiv.
He earth is the LORD's, and all that therein is:

the compass of the world, and I they that dwell therein.
2 For he hath founded | it upon the seas:

and prepared | it upon the foods.
3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD:

or who shall rise I up in his holy place?
4 Even he hath clean | hands and a pure heart:

and that hath not lift up his mind unto vanity,

nor sworn to deceive his neighbour.
5 He shall receive the blessing from the LORD:

and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

ORD, let me know mine end, and the number of my days:

that I may be certified how | long I have to live. 2 Behold, thou hast made my days as it were a span long:

and mine age is even as nothing in respect of thee,

and verily every man living is alto/gether vanity. 3 For man walketh in a vain shadow, and disquieteth himself in vain:

he heapeth up riches, and cannot tell / who shall gather them. 4 And now Lord, what I is my hope:

truly my I hope is even · in thee. 5 Deliver me from all mine of fences:

and make me not a rebuke | unto the foolish. 6 When thou with rebukes dost chasten man for sin,

thou makest his beauty to consume away like as it were a moth fretting a | garment: every man therefore I is but vanity.

7 Hear my prayer O LORD, and with thine ears consider my | calling:

hold not thy | peace at my tears. 8 For I am a stranger with thee and a / sojourner:

as | all my fathers were. 9 O spare me a little, that I may recover • my strength:

before I go hence and be no more seen. Glory be to the Father and I to the Son:

and | to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now and I ever. shall be:

world without | end. Amen.

from one generation | to another. 2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever the earth and the world were made:

thou art God from everlasting, and I world without end. 3 Thou turnest man to destruction:

again thou sayest, Come again, ye | children of men. 4 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as I yesterday:

seeing that is past as a | watch in the night. 5 As soon as thou scatterest them they are even | as a sleep:

and fade away | sudden - ly like the grass. 6 In the morning it is green and | groweth up:

but in the evening it is cut down, dried | up and withered. 7 For we consume away in thy dis pleasure:

and are afraid at thy wrathful | indignation. 8 Thou hast set our misdeeds belfore thee:

and our secret sins in the light of thy countenance. 9 For when thou art angry all our | days are gone:

we bring our years to an end, as it were a | tale that is told, 10 The days of our age are threescore years and ten; and though men be so strong that they come to | fourscore years:

yet is their strength then but labour and sorrow;

so soon passeth it away and we are gone. 11 O teach us to | number · our days:

that we may apply our hearts | unto wisdom. Glory be to the Father and to the Son:

and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now and I ever - shall be: world without | end. Amen.
