23. He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days.
24. I said, O my God, do not cut me off in the midst of my days; thy years are from generation to generation.
25. Of old thou hast laid 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 thou shalt change them, and they shall be changed:
27. But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end.
28. The sons of thy slaves shall continue, and their seed shall be established before thee.
