24 He hath worn out my strength in the way, hath shortened my days.

E-25 I said, "My God! Do not rapture me in the half of my days. Thy years in the birth of childbirth.

26 In the beginning Thou didst founded the earth, and the heavens are the work of Thy hands;

27 they shall perish, but Thou shalt remain; and they shall all be worn out like a garment, and as a garment Thou shalt change them, and they shall be changed;

28 but thou art the same, and thy years shall not end.

29 The sons of thy servants shall live, and their seed shall be established before thee.

Psalm 102

Psalm of David.

1 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all my inward beings are his holy name.

2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his good works.

3 He forgives all thy iniquities, healeth all thy infirmities;

4 He delivereth thy life from the grave, He crowneth thee with mercy and mercies;

5 Thy desire is satisfied with good things: thy youth is renewed like an eagle.

6 The Lord does righteousness and judgment to all who are wronged.

7 He showed His ways to Moses, His works to the children of Israel.

8 The Lord is merciful and merciful, long-suffering and abundant in mercy:

9 He is not angry to the end, neither is he indignant for ever.

10 He did not do to us according to our iniquities, nor did He repay us according to our sins.

11 for as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is [the Lord's] mercy towards them that fear him;

12 As far as the east is from the west, so has he removed our iniquities from us;

13 As a father has mercy on his sons, so does the Lord have mercy on them that fear him.
