102:24 I say, “O my God, please do not take me away in the middle of my life! 1
You endure through all generations. 2
102:25 In earlier times you established the earth;
the skies are your handiwork.
102:26 They will perish,
but you will endure. 3
They will wear out like a garment;
like clothes you will remove them and they will disappear. 4
102:27 But you remain; 5
your years do not come to an end.
102:28 The children of your servants will settle down here,
and their descendants 6 will live securely in your presence.” 7
