24. He brought down my strength in midcourse. He shortened my days.
25. I say, “My God, do not take me up in the middle of my days. Your years endure through all generations!
26. Long ago You founded the earth, the heavens are the work of Your hands.
27. They will perish, but You will remain. All of them will wear out like a garment. Like clothing You change them, so they change.
