Full Text

23 My strength he weakened in the way,
my days of life he shortened.
24 My God, O take me not away
in mid-time of my days, I said:
thy years throughout all ages last.
25 Of old thou hast established
the earth’s foundation firm and fast:
thy mighty hands the heavens have made.

26 They perish shall, as garments do,
but thou shalt evermore endure;
as vestures, thou shalt change them so;
and they shall all be changed sure:
27 but from all changes thou art free;
thy endless years do last for aye.
28 Thy servants, and their seed who be,
established shall before thee stay.
