⁸Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me are sworn against me.

¹⁶When the LORD shall build vp Zion: he shall appeare in his glory.

¹⁷He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer.

¹⁸This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created, shall praise the LORD.

¹⁹For hee hath looked downe from the height of his Sanctuarie: from heauen did the LORD beholde the earth:

^20†To heare the groning of the prisoner: to loose those that are appointed to death:

²¹To declare the Name of the LORD in Zion: and his praise in Ierusalem:

²²When the people are gathered together: and the kingdomes to serue the LORD.

^23†He weakened my strength in the way: he shortened my dayes.

²⁴I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my dayes: thy yeres are throughout all generations.

^25*Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heauens are the worke of thy hands.

^26†They shall perish, but thou shalt indure, yea all of them shall waxe old like a garment: as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shalbe changed.

²⁷But thou art the same: and thy yeeres shall haue no end.

²⁸The children of thy seruants shal continue: and their seed shall be established before thee.
