Although it is possible that “his” was original and that most copyists changed it to “you” to agree with Psalms 45:7 from which the quotation is taken, the fact that the great majority of manuscripts from different text types read “his” make it more likely that “you” is original.

KJV : The evidence (and modern translations) listed above in braces either moves “and” in front of “like” or omits it. The fact that the words “like a cloak” are missing from many manuscripts is due to their not being found in Psalms 102:26 which is being quoted in this place. Apparently copyists omitted them here to make this quotation read exactly like the psalm.
