24 I say, “My God, (A)do not take me away in the middle of my days,
Your (B)years are [a]throughout all generations.
25 In time of old You (C)founded the earth,
And the (D)heavens are the work of Your hands.
26 [b]Even they will (E)perish, but You endure;
All of them will wear out like a garment;
Like clothing You will change them and they will pass away.
27 But You are [c](F)the same,
And Your years will not come to an end.

    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)
