28 And as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.
29 The children of thy servants shall continue: and their seed shall be directed for ever.
Glory, etc.
Psalm CXXIX. De profundis.
The cry of a contrite heart imploring the Divine mercy.
1 Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O Lord: Lord, hear my voice.
2 Oh, let thine ears consider well, the voice of my supplication.
3 If thou, O Lord, shall mark iniquities: Lord, who shall abide it?
4 For with thee there is propitiation: and because of thy law, I have waited for thee, O Lord.
5 My soul hath waited on his word: my soul hath hoped in the Lord.
6 From the morning watch even until night, let Israel hope in the Lord.
7 For with the Lord there is mercy: and with him is plenteous redemption.
8 And he shall redeem Israel, from all his iniquities.
Glory, etc.
Psalm CXLII. Domine, exaudi.
1. David prays tor favour in judgment. 3. He represents his distress. He prays for grace; 9. for deliverance; 10. for sanctification; 12. for victory over his enemies.
1 Hear my prayer, O Lord: give ear to my supplication in truth; hearken unto me for thy justice sake.
2 And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.
