Psalm 102:18-28

English Standard Version

¹⁸ Let this be ^(A)recorded for ^(B)a generation to come,
    so that ^(C)a people yet to be created may praise the Lord:
¹⁹ that he ^(D)looked down from his holy height;
    from heaven the Lord looked at the earth,
²⁰ to hear ^(E)the groans of the prisoners,
    to set free ^(F)those who were doomed to die,
²¹ that they may ^(G)declare in Zion the name of the Lord,
    and in Jerusalem his praise,
²² when ^(H)peoples gather together,
    and kingdoms, to worship the Lord.

²³ He has broken my strength in midcourse;
    he ^(I)has shortened my days.
²⁴ “O my God,” ^(J)I say, “take me not away
    in the midst of my days—
^(K)you whose years endure
    throughout all generations!”

^25 (L)Of old you laid the foundation of the earth,
    and ^(M)the heavens are the work of your hands.
^26 (N)They will perish, but ^(O)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 ^(P)you are the same, and your years have no end.
^28 (Q)The children of your servants ^(R)shall dwell secure;
    ^(S)their offspring shall be established before you.
