22. when nations and kingdoms come togetherand worship the Lord.
23. The Lord has made me weak while I am still young;he has shortened my life.
24. O God, do not take me away nowbefore I grow old.O Lord, you live for ever;
25. long ago you created the earth,and with your own hands you made the heavens.
26. They will disappear, but you will remain;they will all wear out like clothes.You will discard them like clothes,and they will vanish.
27. But you are always the same,and your life never ends.
