19. For he has looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD behold the earth;
20. To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death;
21. To declare the name of the LORD in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem;
22. When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.
23. He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days.
24. I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: your years are throughout all generations.
25. Of old have you laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of your hands.
26. They shall perish, but you shall endure: yea, all of them shall grow old like a garment; as a vesture shall you change them, and they shall be changed:
27. But you are the same, and your years shall have no end.
28. The children of your servants shall continue, and their descendants shall be established before you.
