 - It shall.
  That is, as long as the sun and moon shall endure, as long as

  especially observed by every nation; and by these time is
  generally estimated, especially among eastern nations:--So
  many moons is a man old--so many moons since such an event
  happened; and even their years are reckoned by lunations.  Or,
  the rainbow may be intended; that faithful sign which God has
  established in the clouds, that the earth shall no more be
  destroyed by water.

  This verse ends the third book of the Psalter; and is thought
  to have been added by a later hand, as it is wanting in two
  MSS., in another written without points, and in three others
  written separately from the text; though it is found in all
  the versions.
