Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Your works; I consider the work of Your hands.
For, “All flesh is like grass, and all its glory like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall,
but the word of the Lord stands forever.” And this is the word that was proclaimed to you.
As for man, his days are like grass—he blooms like a flower of the field;
when the wind passes over, it vanishes, and its place remembers it no more.
