Psalms 90:17

And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.

Ver. 17. And let the beauty of the Lord, &c.] i.e. The bounty; the Italian rendereth it, La Giocondita, jucunditas Domini sit in nos.

And establish thou the work, &c.] Thus we had all need to pray; for,

Nullius est felix conatus et utilis unquam,

Consilium si non detque iuvetque Deus.
