Psalm 102:18–28

18 Let this be writtenm for a future generation,

that a people not yet createdn may praise the Lord:

19 “The Lord looked downo from his sanctuary on high,

from heaven he viewed the earth,

20 to hear the groans of the prisonersp

and release those condemned to death.”

21 So the name of the Lord will be declaredq in Zion

and his praiser in Jerusalem

22 when the peoples and the kingdoms

assemble to worships the Lord.

23 In the course of my lifeb he broke my strength;

he cut short my days.t

24 So I said:

“Do not take me away, my God, in the midst of my days;

your years go onu through all generations.

25 In the beginningv you laid the foundations of the earth,

and the heavensw are the work of your hands.x

26 They will perish,y but you remain;

they will all wear out like a garment.

Like clothing you will change them

and they will be discarded.

27 But you remain the same,z

and your years will never end.a

28 The children of your servantsb will live in your presence;

their descendantsc will be established before you.”
