Psalm 102:22

Verse 22 of 28. The 102nd of 150 chapters in Psalms, in Poetry and Wisdom.

18This will be written for the generation to come. A people which will be created will praise the LORD,

19for he has looked down from the height of his sanctuary. From heaven, the LORD saw the earth,

20to hear the groans of the prisoner, to free those who are condemned to death,

21that men may declare the LORD’s name in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem,

22when the peoples are gathered together, the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.

23He weakened my strength along the course. He shortened my days.

24I said, “My God, don’t take me away in the middle of my days. Your years are throughout all generations.

25Of old, you laid the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the work of your hands.

26They will perish, but you will endure. Yes, all of them will wear out like a garment. You will change them like a cloak, and they will be changed.
