The days of our age are threescore years and ten,
|
And though men be so strong that they come,
|
To fourscore years, yet is their strength then,
|
But labour and sorrow, so soon passeth it away,
|
And we are gone;
|
|
And as for me, my feet are almost gone,
|
My treadings are well nigh slipped,
|
But let not the waterflood drown me,
|
Neither let the deep swallow me up;
|
So going through the Vale of Misery,
|
I shall use it for a well,
|
Till the pools are filled with water;
|
For thou hast made the North and the South,
|
Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name.
