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.
