Representative Text

23 My wonted strength and force he hath
abated in the way,
my days he also shortened hath:
24 thus therefore did I say,
My God, in mid-time of my days
take thou me not away:
from age to age eternally
thy years endure and stay.

25 The firm foundation of the earth
of old time thou hast laid;
the heavens also are the work
which thine own hands have made.
26 Thou shalt for evermore endure,
but they shall perish all;
yea, every one of them wax old,
like to a garment, shall:

Thou, as a vesture, shalt them change,
and they shall changed be;
27 but thou the same art, and thy years
are to eternity.
28 The children of thy servants shall
continually endure;
and in thy sight, O Lord, their seed
shall be established sure.
