22. When as the people gather shallin troops with one accord,When kingdoms shall assembled beto serve the highest Lord.
23. My wonted strength and force he hathabated in the way,And he my days hath shortened:
24. Thus therefore did I say,My God, in mid-time of my daystake thou me not away:From age to age eternallythy years endure and stay.
25. The firm foundation of the earthof old time thou hast laid;The heavens also are the workwhich thine own hands have made.
26. Thou shalt for evermore endure,but they shall perish all;Yea, ev'ry 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 shallcontinually endure;And in thy sight, O Lord, their seedshall be establish'd sure.
