- So I said: "Do not take me away, O 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.

- He has weakened my strength in the way; He has shortened my days.
- I say, "O my God, do not take me away in the midst of my days, Your years are throughout all generations.
- "Of old You founded the earth, And the heavens are the work of Your hands.
- "Even they will perish, but You endure; And all of them will wear out like a garment; Like clothing You will change them and they will be changed.
- "But You are the same, And Your years will not come to an end.
