As quoted by Hans-Joachim Kraus in PSALMS 60 - 150 (Page 287 footnote 1, Fortress Press, 1993):
"But you precede all of the past by the loftiness of your ever-present eternity; and you surpass all of the future times because they are future and when they have come, they will be past; but you are the same, and your years will not fail (Psalm 102:28). Your years neither go nor come; but ours both go and come, so that all may come. Your years all stand at the same time, since they stand still; nor are those going shut off from those coming, because they do not pass by; but ours will all be when all will not be. Your years are one day; and your day is not daily, but today, because your today does not give way to tomorrow; nor does it follow yesterday. Your today is eternal; therefore you have begotten him as coeternal to whom you said, 'Today have I begotten you' (Psalm 2:7 and Hebrews 5:5). You have made all times, and you were before all times; nor at any time was there no time" (Confessions, XI, 113).
