102:23 He has taken away my strength in the middle of life; 1
he has cut short my days.
102:24 I say, “O my God, please do not take me away in the middle of my life! 2
You endure through all generations. 3
102:25 In earlier times you established the earth;
the skies are your handiwork.
102:26 They will perish,
but you will endure. 4
They will wear out like a garment;
like clothes you will remove them and they will disappear. 5
102:27 But you remain; 6
your years do not come to an end.
