what is man, that you think of him? What is the son of man, that you care for him?

Yes, even when I am old and gray-haired, God, do not forsake me, until I have declared your strength to the next generation, your might to everyone who is to come.

The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree. He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

for he is our God. We are the people of his pasture, and the sheep in his care. Today, oh that you would hear his voice.

He causes the grass to grow for the livestock, and plants for man to cultivate, that he may bring forth food out of the earth:

LORD, what is man, that you care for him? Or the son of man, that you think of him?

who covers the sky with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who makes grass grow on the mountains.
