Thy throne, O God, is forever and

wilt change them, and they will be

Thy years will not come to an end."

O God, is forever and ever, and the

God, hath anointed Thee with the oil
of gladness above Thy companions."
And, "Thou, Lord, in the beginning
didst lay the foundation of the earth,
and the heavens are the works of
Thy hands; They will perish, but Thou
remainest; and they all will become
old as a garment, and as a mantle
Thou wilt roll them up; as a garment
they will also be changed. But Thou
art the same, and Thy years will not
come to an end."
