18. This shall be written for the generation to come; And a people which shall be created shall praise Jehovah.
19. For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; From heaven did Jehovah behold the earth;
20. To hear the sighing of the prisoner; To loose those that are appointed to death;
21. That men may declare the name of Jehovah in Zion, And his praise in Jerusalem;
22. When the peoples are gathered together, And the kingdoms, to serve Jehovah.
23. He weakened my strength in the way; He shortened my days.
24. I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: Thy years are throughout all generations.
25. Of old didst thou lay the foundation of the earth; And the heavens are the work of thy hands.
26. They shall perish, but thou shalt endure; Yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; As a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:
27. But thou art the same, And thy years shall have no end.
28. The children of thy servants shall continue, And their seed shall be established before thee.
