Psalms 102:23-28

Psalms 102

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

23He has broken my strength on the way; He has cut short my days.

24I say: “O my God, do not take me in the midst of my days! Your years go on through all generations.

25In the beginning You laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands.

26They will perish, but You remain; they will all wear out like a garment. Like clothing You will change them, and they will be passed on.

27But You remain the same, and Your years will never end.

28The children of Your servants will dwell securely, and their descendants will be established before You.”
