The Psalmist Recalls Mortality and God's Eternity

Psalms 102:23-28

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

I say: “O my God, do not take me 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 passed on.

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

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