he flourishes like a flower of the field;

16 for the wind passes over it, and it is gone,

 and its place knows it no more.

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

 and his righteousness to children's children,

18 to those who keep his covenant

 and remember to do his commandments.

19 The Lord has established his throne in the heavens,

 and his kingdom rules over all.
