15As for man, his days are like grass; As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.

16For the wind passes over it, and it is gone, And its place remembers it no more.

16the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more.

17But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting On those who fear Him, And His righteousness to children’s children,

18To such as keep His covenant, And to those who remember His commandments to do them.

19The LORD has established His throne in heaven, And His kingdom rules over all.

21Bless the LORD, all you His hosts, You ministers of His, who do His pleasure.

21Praise the LORD, all his heavenly hosts, you his servants who do his will.

22Bless the LORD, all His works, In all places of His dominion. Bless the LORD, O my soul!
