Psalm 102:18-28
New King James Version
18 This will be (A)written for the generation to come,
That (B)a people yet to be created may praise the Lord.
19 For He (C)looked down from the height of His sanctuary;
From heaven the Lord viewed the earth,
20 (D)To hear the groaning of the prisoner,
To release those appointed to death,
21 To (E)declare the name of the Lord in Zion,
And His praise in Jerusalem,
22 (F)When the peoples are gathered together,
And the kingdoms, to serve the Lord.
23 He weakened my strength in the way;
He (G)shortened my days.
24 (H)I said, “O my God,
Do not take me away in the midst of my days;
(I)Your years are throughout all generations.
25 (J)Of old You laid the foundation of the earth,
And the heavens are the work of Your hands.
26 (K)They will perish, but You will [a]endure;
Yes, they will all grow old like a garment;
Like a cloak You will change them,
And they will be changed.
27 But (L)You are the same,
And Your years will have no end.
28 (M)The children of Your servants will continue,
And their descendants will be established before You.”

Young's Literal Translation
18 This is written for a later generation, And the people created do praise Jah.
19 For He hath looked From the high place of His sanctuary. Jehovah from heaven unto earth looked attentively,
20 To hear the groan of the prisoner, To loose sons of death,
21 To declare in Zion the name of Jehovah, And His praise in Jerusalem,
22 In the peoples being gathered together, And the kingdoms -- to serve Jehovah.
23 He hath humbled in the way my power, He hath shortened my days.
24 I say, `My God, take me not up in the midst of my days,' Through all generations [are] Thine years.
25 Beforetime the earth Thou didst found, And the work of Thy hands [are] the heavens.
26 They -- They perish, and Thou remainest, And all of them as a garment become old, As clothing Thou changest them, And they are changed.
27 And Thou [art] the same, and Thine years are not finished.
28 The sons of Thy servants do continue, And their seed before Thee is established!
