24  “O my God,” I say, “take me not away

in the midst of my days—

you ^pwhose years endure

throughout all generations!”

25  ^qOf old you laid the foundation of the earth,

and the heavens are the work of your hands.

26  ^rThey will perish, but you will remain;

they will all wear out like a garment.

You will change them like a robe, and they will pass away,

27  but ^syou are the same, and your years have no end.

28  The children of your servants shall dwell secure;

their offspring shall be established before you.

28  The children of your servants shall dwell secure;

their offspring shall be established before you.

28  The children of your servants shall dwell secure;

their offspring shall be established before you.

2  Do not ^zhide your face from me

in the day of my distress!

Incline your ear to me;

^aanswer me speedily in the day when I call!

28  The children of your servants shall dwell secure;

their offspring shall be established before you.

28  The children of your servants shall dwell secure;

their offspring shall be established before you.

28  The children of your servants shall dwell secure;

their offspring shall be established before you.
