and the heavens(C) are the work of your hands.(D)
26 They will perish,(E) but you remain;
they will all wear out like a garment.
Like clothing you will change them
and they will be discarded.
27 But you remain the same,(F)
and your years will never end.(G)
28 The children of your servants(H) will live in your presence;
their descendants(I) will be established before you.”

they are soon gone, and we fly away.
