Psalm 102:23-28
The Message
23-28 God sovereignly brought me to my knees,
he cut me down in my prime.
“Oh, don’t,” I prayed, “please don’t let me die.
You have more years than you know what to do with!
You laid earth’s foundations a long time ago,
and handcrafted the very heavens;
You’ll still be around when they’re long gone,
threadbare and discarded like an old suit of clothes.
You’ll throw them away like a worn-out coat,
but year after year you’re as good as new.
Your servants’ children will have a good place to live
and their children will be at home with you.”
Psalm 102:23-25
New International Version
23 In the course of my life[a] he broke my strength;
he cut short my days.(A)
24 So I said:
“Do not take me away, my God, in the midst of my days;
your years go on(B) through all generations.
25 In the beginning(C) you laid the foundations of the earth,
and the heavens(D) are the work of your hands.(E)
