22 to declare the Name of Adonai in Zion and His praise in Jerusalem,
23 when the peoples and the kingdoms assemble to worship Adonai.
24 He brought down my strength in midcourse. He shortened my days.
25 I say, “My God, do not take me up in the middle of my days. Your years endure through all generations!
26 Long ago You founded the earth, the heavens are the work of Your hands.
27 They will perish, but You will remain. All of them will wear out like a garment. Like clothing You change them, so they change.
28 But You are the same, and Your years will never end.
