18Let this be frecorded for ga generation to come,
so that ha people yet to be created may praise the Lord:
19that he ilooked down from his holy height;
from heaven the Lord looked at the earth,
20to hear jthe groans of the prisoners,
to set free kthose who were doomed to die,
21that they may ldeclare in Zion the name of the Lord,
and in Jerusalem his praise,
22when mpeoples gather together,
and kingdoms, to worship the Lord.
23He has broken my strength in midcourse;
he nhas shortened my days.
24“O my God,” oI say, “take me not away
in the midst of my days—
pyou whose years endure
throughout all generations!”
25qOf old you laid the foundation of the earth,
and rthe heavens are the work of your hands.
26sThey will perish, but tyou will remain;
they will all wear out like a garment.
You will change them like a robe, and they will pass away,
27but uyou are the same, and your years have no end.
28vThe children of your servants wshall dwell secure;
xtheir offspring shall be established before you.

NIVNew International Version (2011)
Let this be written for a future generation,
that a people not yet created may praise the Lord:
“The Lord looked down from his sanctuary on high,
from heaven he viewed the earth,
to hear the groans of the prisoners
and release those condemned to death.”
So the name of the Lord will be declared in Zion
and his praise in Jerusalem
when the peoples and the kingdoms
assemble to worship the Lord.
In the course of my life he broke my strength;
he cut short my days.
So I said:
“Do not take me away, my God, in the midst of my days;
your years go on through all generations.
In the beginning you laid the foundations of the earth,
and the heavens are the work of your hands.
They will perish, but you remain;
they will all wear out like a garment.
Like clothing you will change them
and they will be discarded.
But you remain the same,
and your years will never end.
The children of your servants will live in your presence;
their descendants will be established before you.”

CSBChristian Standard Bible
This will be written for a later generation,
and a people who have not yet been created will praise the Lord:
He looked down from his holy heights—
the Lord gazed out from heaven to earth—
to hear a prisoner’s groaning,
to set free those condemned to die,
so that they might declare
the name of the Lord in Zion
and his praise in Jerusalem
when peoples and kingdoms are assembled
to serve the Lord.
He has broken my strength in midcourse;
he has shortened my days.
I say, “My God, do not take me
in the middle of my life!
Your years continue through all generations.
Long ago you established the earth,
and the heavens are the work of your hands.
They will perish, but you will endure;
all of them will wear out like clothing.
You will change them like a garment,
and they will pass away.
But you are the same,
and your years will never end.
Your servants’ children will dwell securely,
and their offspring will be established before you.”

NLTNew Living Translation
Let this be recorded for future generations,
so that a people not yet born will praise the Lord.
Tell them the Lord looked down
from his heavenly sanctuary.
He looked down to earth from heaven
to hear the groans of the prisoners,
to release those condemned to die.
And so the Lord’s fame will be celebrated in Zion,
his praises in Jerusalem,
when multitudes gather together
and kingdoms come to worship the Lord.
He broke my strength in midlife,
cutting short my days.
But I cried to him, “O my God, who lives forever,
don’t take my life while I am so young!
Long ago you laid the foundation of the earth
and made the heavens with your hands.
They will perish, but you remain forever;
they will wear out like old clothing.
You will change them like a garment
and discard them.
But you are always the same;
you will live forever.
The children of your people
will live in security.
Their children’s children
will thrive in your presence.”

LEBThe Lexham English Bible
Let this be written for the next generation,
so that a people yet to be created may praise Yah,
that he looked down from his holy height.
Yahweh looked from heaven over the earth
to hear the groaning of the prisoner,
to liberate those destined to die,
so that they may make known in Zion the name of Yahweh,
and his praise in Jerusalem,
when the peoples assemble,
together with kingdoms, to serve Yahweh.
He has broken my strength along the way;
he has cut short my days.
I say, “My God, do not carry me off
from my life in the middle of my days.”
Your years continue throughout all generations.
Long ago you laid the foundation of the earth,
and the heavens are the work of your hands.
They will perish, but you will endure.
And like a garment they will all wear out,
you will replace them like clothing, and they will be set aside.
But you are the same,
and your years do not end.
The children of your servants will continue,
and their descendants will be established before you.

KJV 1900King James Version
This shall be written for the generation to come:
And the people which shall be created shall praise the Lord.
For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary;
From heaven did the Lord behold the earth;
To hear the groaning of the prisoner;
To loose those that are appointed to death;
To declare the name of the Lord in Zion,
And his praise in Jerusalem;
When the people are gathered together,
And the kingdoms, to serve the Lord.
He weakened my strength in the way;
He shortened my days.
I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days:
Thy years are throughout all generations.
Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth:
And the heavens are the work of thy hands.
They 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:
But thou art the same,
And thy years shall have no end.
The children of thy servants shall continue,
And their seed shall be established before thee.
