First Si Verses Of The Ninetieth Psal
first six verses of the h psalm versified, the o thou, the first, the greatest friend of all the human race! whose strht hand has ever been their stay and dwelling place! before the mountains heav'd their heads beh thy f hand, before this ponderous globe itself arose at thy and; that pow'r which rais'd and still upholds this universal frame, from tless, unbeginning time was ever still the same. those mighty periods of years which seem to us so vast, appear no more before thy 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 layest them, with all their cares, in everlasting 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.
