15  As for man, his days are like ^tgrass;

he flourishes like ^ua flower of the field;

16  for ^vthe wind passes over it, and ^wit is gone,

and ^xits place knows it no more.

17  But ^ythe steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on ^pthose who fear him,

and his righteousness to ^zchildren’s children,

18  to those who ^akeep his covenant

and ^bremember to do his commandments.
