Psalm 102:18–28

¹⁸This shall be written for the generation to come;

And a people which shall be created shall praise Jehovah.

¹⁹For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary;

From heaven did Jehovah behold the earth;

²⁰To hear the sighing of the prisoner;

To loose those that are appointed to death;

²¹That men may declare the name of Jehovah in Zion,

And his praise in Jerusalem;

²²When the peoples are gathered together,

And the kingdoms, to serve Jehovah.

²³He weakened my strength in the way;

He shortened my days.

²⁴I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days:

Thy years are throughout all generations.

²⁵Of old didst thou lay the foundation of the earth;

And the heavens are the work of thy hands.

²⁶They shall perish, but thou shalt endure;

Yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment;

As a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:

²⁷But thou art the same,

And thy years shall have no end.

²⁸The children of thy servants shall continue,

And their seed shall be established before thee.
